1. Hunger in lesser developed countries
We could spend less money on warfare and military equipment and invest into the food industries. With the increase in food that is produced we can have the military buy some of the leftover foods and ship it to lesser developed countries.
2. Education in lesser developed countries
We could also spend less money on warfare and military equipment and invest in building schools in lesser developed countries. We need to educate people in these lesser developed countries. Once they are educated they should be able to support each other and we no longer have to support them. They will then join the market and buy our exports as we have good relations with these countries.
3. Nuclear powers
We must create a world treaty or pact that states none of us will ever use our nuclear powers. It is too dangerous to risk the lives of people around the world. Radiation is obviously extremely dangerous and will ruin the pieces of land that we drop the bomb on.
4. Spreading of diseases with increased travel.
We must increase security as well as spend more money on medical research to prevent diseases. Diseases are unfortunate and are sometimes unpredictable.
5. World population is not equal to resources available
The best way to prevent this is to increase resources. We must increase the amount of farms to increase the amount of food resources and we must find alternatives to resources that can’t be grown or farmed.
I selected hunger in lesser developed countries as the first problem because these are people that have the potential to do great things if they were given the opportunity. From my perspective seeing the abundance of grocery markets where I have grown up makes it hard to imagine having a lack of food to eat. I believe we must first feed these people and then educate them in order for them to become self-sufficient. Once they are self-sufficient they will begin to contribute more into our world economy and become trade partners with us. I believe the government can afford to spend less money on military tactics and supplies and more on feeding and creating educational institutes in lesser developed countries.
I definitely agree with you that hunger is a huge problem. It's unfortunate too because that's a cause from a LOT of other issues, so it's difficult to pinpoint a single solution that would fix it. It's really unfortunate how so many of our planet's problems are like that...

Hey Cameron! I really liked reading your list of the top five world's biggest problems. We had chosen a lot of the same problems that we want to be tackled. I appreciate how you gave such a detailed response as to how to solve world hunger. I think that your solution is very implementable and a good idea.
