Argument

Many people believe that world hunger and famine exists because world food production can't keep up with global demand for food as population grows.  Citing all of the readings for this week (and any outside sources you choose to include if you wish to), explain in 2 to 3 paragraphs why you agree or disagree with this argument, and what you think drives hunger around the world today.
