In this world of abundant resources and huge wealth, hunger cannot be
understood simply as a problem of food production. It is also a matter
of human relations. Hunger grows out of widespread indifference and
exploitation. The goal of ending hunger has been achieved in many
places, including places where people have little money. In stable,
strong communities, where people care about one another's well-being, no
one goes hungry. That caring is strengthened when people work and play
together. This insight tells us the direction we need to take to move
toward a world without hunger. The problem of global hunger will be
solved when we learn to live together well locally.
