True. Starvation is a big problem. I don't know if software can even help here, but do you know of companies taking such an approach to solving this?

Thanks for the pointer about the internet. I will check out Project Loon and Internet.org.

Software is used to help solve almost every single problem on the planet so I'm sure there's a way to help the problem of starvation in poorer countries. Not sure of any specific companies, but that doesn't mean there's no need for it.

Goodluck, hope you find something!
