We produce more than enough food for everyone on the planet (even if we were 10bln), the United Nation's World Food Program, whose mission is to "eradicate hunger", in 60 years just managed to get bigger and bigger (15k employees nowadays) without solving the problem.

The number of undernourished people is higher today than in 2014.

Poor countries don't get industrialised and never manage to make enough food by themselves.

If you ask me, I think it's just a way to spend some money to make your citizens feel good while keeping the status-quo.
