Yep, maybe if the superrich of this world would share their wealth it would look much differently and if the rich countries wouldn’t subsidize their farmers the poor countries would have a chance

Do you believe economic growth is the best way of tackling that issue? I'm currently working on a school assignment that asks this question, so I'm genuinely curious.
