Why Isn't World Hunger Solved?

Rather than making this about Elon Musk specifically, I am making it moreso a point over wealth relativity. 

This would be the bragging right of the century, literally one of the biggest things to hit a history book in... well, history. Why doesn't it end up happening?

It’s complicated. Often monies allocated to solve food insecurity in say Somalia don’t actually get there and the reasons are political and due to general unrest in the area.

With a fraction of the wealth these people have they could set up programs that police how the food is distributed.

Logistics and Geopolitics.

Poverty makes exploitation possible which in turn makes wealth possible. I think it is a conflict of interests.

  •  Military or civilian?
  • whose problem is it?
  • what if say Somalia which is unstable doesn’t want the “policing” on their soil 
  • tribal issues which prevent distribution of food, cannibalism

A minority of people have to suffer so the rest can survive and thrive 

Billionaires should be ashamed of themselves

People aren’t willing to solve it by making the entire lgbt community edible either. Would be an easy exclusively positive solution that nobody even seems to be willing to execute. Clearly nobody cares about world hunger lol.

Policing would mean some sort of military-like force to enforce it. 

The wealth these people have could fund their own armies, but they don't. 

  • whose problem is it?

It's less a problem and more a Philanthropic Endeavor. If they fail too far to recover from they can just pull out of the project, like many a business venture from less successful rich people. 

  • what if say Somalia which is unstable doesn’t want the “policing” on their soil 

Then they don't get food. 

Treat it like homeless people, only give food rather than giving over money or anything related to infrastructure. Long term solutions are naturally more desirable, but this is just about World Hunger specifically. 

  • tribal issues which prevent distribution of food, cannibalism 

If they don't want the food they don't have to accept it. If it's a matter of personal safety they could drop down multiple parcels of food from the air and have them fend for themselves against eachother.

The apathy angle would make sense to me if it couldn't just be solved by one person, but these are people who aim to make history with their wealth from having little else left to prove.
