Famine - a widespread scarcity of food, caused by several factors including crop failure, population imbalance, or government policies. This phenomenon is usually accompanied or followed by regional malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality. Every inhabited continent in the world has experienced a period of famine throughout history. Some countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, continue to have extreme cases of famine. This region remains the most affected area in the world, and because of climate change, agricultural conditions fluctuate more and more. Most programmes direct their aid towards Africa.

I have understood that the Western countries are disposing more food than would be required to feed all the hungry.
“In parts of Ethiopia’s Tigray region, people now eat only green leaves for days. At a health center last week, a mother and her newborn weighing just 1.7 pounds died from hunger. In every district of the more than 20 where one aid group works, residents have starved to death.” https://apnews.com/hub/ethiopia-erasing-ethnicity
I was reading on the ways civilizations have died over the centuries. Wikipedia has a list of looks like a few hundred. Famine played a big part in most. The effects and lasting damage are much worse than any plague-even the black plague. Plagues come and go quickly and often kick off a famine but famines and their economic damage last decades.
This is a very short (3 minutes or less) survey about how people in certain areas of the world interpret different symbols and icons. We are looking specifically at Haiti, Kenya, Bangeladesh and Yemen. The survey requires looking at an icon and typing a few words on what you think it is and what it represents. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When famines occur in developing countries, there are many adverse effects. Malnutrition occurs when there is a lack of food in a nation and people's health suffers. Malnutrition most occurs in children, and it can lead to stunting, which limits a child's natural development. A stunted child can even earn 26% less income as an adult. Stunted children are even more prone to diseases like malaria.

Having enough food resources can save populations during or after natural disasters that destroy crops and introduce more sickness.

What are some economically-reasonable foods to promote for reducing famine and world hunger? I.e., some foods are agriculturally and economically more feasible and accessible than others--rice is more feasible than meat; vegetables and beans more than fresh imported fruit.
Are there any specific suggestions? I am making a list for audiences around the world to make sound decisions on food being distributed worldwide for ending world hunger.
Foods I currently have on the list:
-Grains- Rice (chosen based on location/accessibility) Wheat (although global prices are increasing)
-Seeds, nuts, veg. proteins- Dried and canned legumes (almost all types) Textured vegetable/soy protein Sesame seeds Protein powders (vegetable-based)
-Animal protein- Milk, cheese Canned meat and fish (longer shelf-life than fresh/frozen meats; used sparingly in recipes) Insects (e.g. Crickets; whole or powdered)
My suggestion for fresh produce is to grow locally with types that are suited towards the respective climate. This cuts down on fuel/shipping costs and wastage from spoiling & losses along the way, and also secures food for the community through food/agriculture education and accessibility.
