Question: Can you make a drug to stop world hunger?

Thanks for the question!

There is no easy fix to solving such a big problem.

There are drugs available that can make people feel less hungry, but this doesn’t solve the problem of starvation!

Sadly, we need to grow more food (or make food more easily available!). That said, we can use our knowledge of some of the bacteria we work with to help improve crop yields and in a way work towards being part of the solution!
