Synopsis (short abstract) We have now one billion hungry people in the world: one in every six human beings. We will go from the present population of 6.7 billion to 9.1 billion by 2050. This will require an increase of food production of 70% at world level and 100% in developing countries. We need to spend 17% of ODA (44 billion US dollars) a year to change this situation, with investment in smallholder agriculture of least developing countries. This should be possible in a world where we spend 1340 billion US dollars a year for armaments.
