The problem is quite dramatic - too many people, too little food today. In the 20th century 40mln people, half of them being children are dying of hunger every year. Today starving people make up 10-15% of the world population. In many parts of the world people are dying of hunger every minute of the day. Hunger is a social phenomenon characteristic of the capitalist formation.

Some bourgeois theories try to justify hunger by the gap between food production growth and population growth. For example the English reactionary scientist Malthus (1766-1834) considered hunger, wars and epidemics inevitable. His idea was that could regulate the number of the population which grows according to geometrical progression where-as food production does according to arithme-tical progression.
