Most people Starving to death live near the equator

If you look at where the most people die of starvation each year it is in places like Africa which has been one of the most effected areas on earth by Global Climate change. However, other places on earth people are starving to death also.

I suppose one way to look at this is in places away from the equator less people can be born because it isn't warm enough to survive without wood heat keeping them warm enough to survive for very long.

But, it is important to note that near the equator right now is where most people are starving to death worldwide.

Why are they dying now?

They are dying because of lack of food, droughts, temperatures too high to survive, lack of potable water, unstable governments, etc.

What can be done about this?

In the short run?

In the long run?
