Five interesting points that impressed me about this video:

Dabaab is the largest refugee camp in the world.
Hunger is a global epidemic. About 800 million people are hungry in the world. 18 million of the 800 million live in North America, Europe, and Australia.
Hunger is actually a logistic problem. 1/3 of the food that is produced in the whole world is wasted. The food lost in Africa could feed around 49 million people.
Sub-Saharan Africa loses about 30 to 40 percent of their crops after harvesting due to insects, rodents, rain, and/or mold.
The World Food Program has provided farmers with more durable silos which are made up of metal and plastic.
I didn’t find any articles about how logistics played a critical role in resolving multiple

    The food production rate exceeds the population growth rate, meaning that enough food is produced in order to feed everyone. Hunger is the number one health problem today and the main reason for this problem is inequality of food distribution. However 842 million people in the world do not have enough to eat. This number has fallen by 17 percent since 1990. Moreover, the vast majority of hungry people (827 million) live in developing countries, where 14.3 percent of the population is undernourished.

    Recently in the 2012 Elections, Proposition 37 in favor of labeling genetically engineered (GE) foodstuff in California was rejected by the public amid fears that it would spread unnecessary skepticism of the safety of bioengineered products. Foods produced by altering the genes of an organism, mostly plants, to make it robust are called GE food. The issue of GE products made available for human consumption has been controversial since its introduction claiming that the safety of GE products is not well founded. In fact it has been one of the most controversial issues in the past decade and there have been numerous debates on whether the GE products really pose a hazard to consumers and the natural environment as well as that they have impaired the conventional food market which has been feeding the human beings since the start of time. Though GE products include a process of altering genes which would not have occurred naturally, GE products have revolutionized our modern day eating habits and they will guarantee us a sustainable future.…
