Lol, well no, I mean you have to look at the specifics, for folks living in a non-farmable area, there isn't a chance to be food independent. If they don't have industry then they can't buy food. If you go to the middle class in country A and say "lets give them a crapton of money" it will be either to give them an expensive fish, or take fishing jobs away from home.
I suppose if you can dig into the specifics, identify which regions have the largest hungry populations and why, and what options there are, you might have a paper. Some populations might have to relocate to be sustainable, others might have trade options.
There are a few projects (though with all the lib hype) such as the heifer project, and other startup loans for various business in the developing world (man that phrase bothers me, that we are presumptuous to call ourselves "developed"). But if they want our lifestyle, or our cognitive dissonance compels us to impose our lifestyle, then they have to act the part.
It's $100 billion, you better put some thought into it
