Humanitarian Action

Why solving world hunger isn't just about making more food

A Malawian man transports food aid distributed by the United Nations World Food Progamme (WFP) through maize fields in Mzumazi village near the capital Lilongwe, February 3, 2016. Late rains in Malawi threaten the staple maize crop and have pushed prices to record highs. About 14 million people face hunger in Southern Africa because of a drought exacerbated by an El Nino weather pattern, according to the WFP. REUTERS/Mike Hutchings
