Ending hunger by 2030 would cost just $93 billion a year — less than one per cent of the $21.9 trillion spent on military budgets over the past decade, according to the UN World Food Programme (WFP).

    Solving world hunger isn’t a money problem, it’s a corruption problem, especially outside of 1st world countries.

    For every dollar moved out of the military to “solve world hunger” i bet less than 10 cents would actually make it to food someone can eat, and the total always referenced as this much would solve it.

    In which case, it’s not 1%, it’d be more like 10%.
