SimoTheFinlandized: ON SOLVING WORLD HUNGER ~ What Do You All Think Of This Idea?

All uneaten/cleaned-up fruit would rot and possibly create a horrible stench and feed the vermin. A lot of fruit-bearing plants are quite labor intensive, which is the opposite of the intended goal when a city/town is planting ornamental plants.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the fact that any uneaten/cleaned-up fruit potentially stinking uo the city streets as an undesirable outcome, as well as fruit-bearing plants being labor-intensive. Thank you for letting me know about those unaccounted-for stray variables.

By the way, may I kindly ask what do you think we should do about the hunger problem? Just wondering :)

Assuming you're talking about the US, starvation and severe hunger are nearly impossible. If you want to keep people off the streets make housing more affordable and theory for drug abusers more commonly available.

;) just messing with ya, typos are the best.

There are community garden type efforts with this in mind i think. I would love to see more people learn to be self sustaining while beautifying the cityscape. Practically speaking though, I'm not sure it would take off. It would require millions of dollars in restructoring roads and sidewalks to allow for proper soil and water irrigation, in those areas. Growing food is very labor intensive take it from someone who has tried and failed even here in the country. I don't have a green thumb to save my life. Are you thinking instead of the decorative trees and bushes you sometimes see around town there be apple trees or what not? I think for the most part those plants are chosen because they are very low maintenance, are breeded to thrive in various weather conditions and can withstand the air pollution and foot traffic that they endure daily. Fruit trees require lots of pruning, fertilizing, harvesting, watering, pretection from pests etc. And even if you got some fruit from it it would be picked bare in a matter of hours or days for the months of work you'd put into it. I think to solve the food shortages our country needs to first stop wasting food. Tons and tons of perfectly good food ready to eat is dumped out daily. I like your thinking though! Keep the ideas coming!

Where can I buy a few saplings?

Al right here's a stunning idea food banks that aren't dictated on whether you pay taxes

Yes, that would be a very game-changing ordeal if it were implemented.

Whether internal (civil) or with their neighbors. Starvation, disease and other horrors always accompany war. I believe your idea, while sincere, is unfeasible so long as people continue to think killing one another is more important than growing food.

Hm. Yes.
