The counter argument there is that hunger still existing is not so much a product of there not being enough food as much as the food not properly being allocated. There is easily enough food produced in the world to feed everyone as is.

One of the places it is being allocated is biofuels.

The US still has hunger despite producing about 4000kcal/person/day of food.

Hunger is a distribution problem not a food shortage problem. There’s more than enough food being produced for everyone.

> In a world where hunger is still an unsolved problem

At best its only a problem in specific locations and due to political problems. I don't believe its reasonable to demand that progress in renewable energy adoption should be aborted just because some nation on some random corner of the world is experiencing political problems.

Look at the trends:

Even in sub-Saharan Africa under nourishment has gone from ~35% of the population in 1991 to ~18% today.

It's a problem that is being solved.

Hunger is solved, in any country that is not a shit hole.
