How to stave off hunger: Relax the Renewable Fuel Standard, which diverts something on the order of 40% of the maize ("corn") grown in the USA to the production of ethanol to blend in with gasoline. The EU has similar legal requirements for fuel, although they tend to be more focused on feedstocks for biodiesel production, which generally aren't readily usable as inputs for food production. Still, they could re-purpose the land currently used to grow those crops to growing food crops, or even for the grazing of animals.

Bottom line: This is all manufactured as the elites wish to be rid of the masses.
