Ongoing world food problem explained simply

The problem: oil prices and climate becomes more and more unpredictable. So, not only can you not count on rain when and where you need it most, you also cannot predict that you can afford to buy gas or diesel for your farm tractors worldwide either.

As a direct result when both these factors combine millions of people starve to death. It is presently estimated in a normal year that 10 million people starve to death worldwide. This likely will increase greatly during years when the weather and oil prices spike.

For the poorest worldwide it looks something like this: "Do I starve to death, or steal food to stay alive?"

So the end result of extreme climate change combined with high oil prices is starvation, and increased crime worldwide.

This is what the world actually will deal with the rest of this century, and even what is happening in the Middle East is what happens when there is no safety net for people to survive. ISIS likely wouldn't exist if there were actually a safety net for people in the middle east when 60% of the people there under 40 couldn't find jobs or get married because Muslims don't date they only marry. They don't live together either without getting killed by stoning some places.

So, organizations that accept donations for food that is then bought there or shipped to all starving nations will become more and more important all this century in order to try to prevent wars both nuclear and non-nuclear from taking place as people become more and more desperate during weather and oil price spikes.
