India has eliminated much of its problems with starvation within the
last 10 years, largely through the efforts of village-based associations
which educate regarding nutrition and pool the resources of the community
to bring goods to market.

As I understand it now, much starvation and death from malnutrition
is occuring in Africa.  The world produces more than enough food to feed
everyone, but the economic system and distribution channels are not
geared to preventing starvation.
