At the same time as Ukrainian wheat issues with the blockade could be a really big issue.

Can we please not have silly jokes on a serious topic like global hunger?

This is one thing I don't want from reddit

Mainwhile, Russia is actively engaged in the destruction of Ukraine wheat export terminals, and India remains silent.

India, Indonesia and the rest of non alignment countries do not need to enter this war set up by the West.

I've always wanted all countries to ban staple food and water exports. If you can't grow your own food and have your own water, you don't need to have people living there.

A bit valid. Just rough for the people already living there that may not have chosen it

Could do a phased approach over a decade or so, rather then all at once. But the other thing is that places (like saudi arabia) that shouldn't have near the population they do, are able to pay much more for food then somalia and so food growers in somalia would rather produce food to sell rather then feed their own people. So you basically shift the starvation to the food producers rather than the food buyers.
