there are no simple solutions to the problems in africa. some problems with your solution are: how can people transport such large amounts of water? where will it come from? who will pay for it? will the country be expected to pay it back? etc.

not every country. some nations can't even afford to feed their own people. They should concentrate on earthly needs first.\n\nBut the ones that can afford it, sure.

Ever since there have been more than one group of humans living nearby eachother -  Tens of thousands of years. It is more useful to enslave an enemy than to kill him. He can till your fields, pick your corn, and carry heavy items. There were slaves as far back as recorded history, and it surely has gone on since the population explosion after the last iceage.

well if they are growing crops and there's a drought and the plants can't get to the water, the farmer won't have enough food, and if they sell their crops, since there's no crops, the farmer won't have money.

One of the main challenges was reproducing with out the water. This was eventually made possible with spores. However the spoors still needed to be close to the water other wise they would die. Seeds came around later and solved the problem. The seeds provide the nutrients that the plant needs untill it can support itself.

One in favor is that it helps people in need.  Some people may need temporary assistance in order to become self sufficient.

Did drought force them to discover ways to provide food? (did they come up with ways to irragate their crops?) Hope this helps!

Nope. The country is not financially capable.

If people around the world focused more on creating and producing instead of destroying and consuming, there wouldn't be any need to ask for help.\n\nIf I give you seeds, you would still have to work to plant and tend them.  That's too much to ask of some people.\n\nIf I plant them for you and they grow, you would still have to pick the fruits.  That's too much to ask of some people.\n\nIf I pick it for you and put it on your plate, you would still have to pick it up and eat it.  That's too much to ask of some people.\n\nAt what point do you say, "I tried.  You're on your own?"

Well, first of all, they would have to stop fighting eachother and focus on rebuilding their lands and farms and infrastructer so they can better feed everyone, and go from there. Outside help and aid can only bring them so far.  They have to become self sufficient or they will never truely end the misery.

First, our government doesn't HAVE to hire anyone for anything.  It usually is the owners of the farms who do the hiring.  They are seeking a profit, & this means that the people who will work for the least amount of money will be hired to do the job so that the profits will be higher for the owner.  I see all types of people working in the fields, but a larger percentage of them are of Latino Heritage.  They have a oneness and more of the work ethic instilled in their culture than the average American.

If your country's basic infrastructure does not currently allow for this you must take it upon yourself to correct the situation. Do everything you can to improve the situation. Contact wealthy corporations or wealthy individuals and ask them to help you. I admire your courage and ambition. I admire your desire to improve your country. You sound like an altruistic individual. Vietnam needs more citizens like you. Don't give up. Don't take no for an answer. If you persevere you will be successful. You certainly have my respect.

Think of yourself as having a farm, or an orchard, and then putting a fence around it, to claim your territory. Well on a larger scale, a nation just has a bigger fence...\n\nIt will last as long as there is fencing material, and as long as people want to claim territories...

Yes, but with a few conditions I believe is the best solution. I think they should be given funds based on the amount of food they have grown and was not sold or used. Funds should be allocated based on some criteria like...\n\n1) Below current domestic market value\n2) Above the price it would be to sell it abroad\n3) Up to a set limit based on the type of food/product it is\n\nThe idea here is that they should not get full price for the food which no one can use. This would cause farmers to grow massive amounts of food because they would know they get money for it all. It should be above the price it would be to sell it aboard (we want to keep the organic material on the country's soil for replanting and future use) and based on the difficulty and cost it is to grow/raise the certain product they should be compensated for proportionately. \n\nIf it is cheaper to grow wheat than lettuce, why should the people growing wheat be paid the same as those with lettuce? This would cause everyone to grow wheat.\n\nI am not a whiz at subsidies, but a few of these ideas make sense to me.

Because if too many people farmed, then farmers could not earn enough money, and they would all quit. As for starving people in other countries, I know it is sad, but farmers will only harvest what they can sell for a satisfatory profit. Unless someone is paying them for the crops, they will not grow it. Its one sad part of the world we live in.
