> letting it sit in investments

Depends on investments. Arguably tech advances are more effective for alleviating hunger than direct food donations long term.




When though? When is it enough to be used for something good?


I think the ideal is a mix: fund near-term needs like healthcare and food access and invest in the systems and tools that prevent future crises


What companies would you invest in if you had a billion dollars and wanted to reduce global hunger?


Anything in energy production, manufacturing, or bioresearch. Probably add education in these areas as well.
