Sure they do. It's just that forefingers own everything of value in their countries and every time they elect someone to do something about it, the US violently overthrows them, covertly or overtly.[1]

Thats kind of another way of saying the same thing.

Food aid is a thing. There are already organizations set up to distribute surplus food production. The problem is not that they developed world is greedy, it’s that the developing world is run mostly by criminals that are willing to steal the money and food that charities and governments try to give to people in need.
What are these legal monopolies on arable land? Do you mean the countries that contain the land or something else?

This is silly. You say that as if the western countries aren't the same and didn't put those people in power...

Western governments most certainly aren't the same, and didn't put those people in power, certainly not in the last 30-40 years.
It's more that the people who cant get enough food dont have anything that the people who have an excess of it really want.
Global wealth distribution is more the issue than logistics and that wealth includes legal monopolies on all the worlds most arable lands intrinsically backed by the threat of violence.
