Global warming, terrorism, illiteracy, natural disasters, hunger. These are some of the many problems that the Earth, as a global community, combats frequently. However, one problem stands out. It stands out because, unlike some others, the solution is seemingly so obvious and so simple. It is the problem of hunger and poverty.
