So it cannot be said that agriculture is the major stumbling block
in getting food to the poor.

of course not, it should be easy to screw money out of middle class tax
payers in the first world to subsidise the third world but they tend to
complain

sorry that should read to mean that of course agriculture is not the
major
stumbling block

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, and keep him dependent = a
possible meaning of your subsidies.

Teach him to fish and you make him independent of you = equal another
means of applying the subsidies.

Much third world work is agriculture. Cut that away with your subisides (=
dumping GM grain or beans) and you then can buy up their land cheap and
blind yourself to the eyesore you are creating. Get govts and aid orgs to
donate to buy the produce you produce on the gouged farms to sell the mass
subsistence market, keeping it weak enough not to challenge you.

Total waste of time. Who in their right mind is going to buy up a lot of the
agricultural land in the third world. Most of it owned by subsistence
peasants who cannot make a living for themselves.
If you want to actually help the third world, as opposed to merely feel
good, then rather than condemn them to a lifetime of back breaking graft
producing small amounts of commodity food, provide the opportunities of
education, real jobs for their children in manufacturing or services. The
problem with that is they will then compete with you and take your job and
that will never do.
