Can this solve world hunger? I'm guessing making this as non-profit and using the labor and material in under developed countries, may be this can be produced with even lower price or even given away free. Any balanced meal that can be given away free on massive scale can potentially solve the world hunger. In fact it can change world for real. Once food problem is solved, people can live anywhere without worrying about jobs. That even might solve problem of slums and housing. Sure, one still needs sanitation and electricity and other needs like education and clothing - but food had been the most challenging of all needs.

The reality is quite complex. The problem in most developing countries is the actual distribution of food, rather than the price of food. Apart from infrastructure issues, there is also widespread corruption and hoarding.

Bananas and eggs could solve world hunger - and in fact are available and affordable to many people who you might classify as hunger. Sure, some kind of protein shake in liue of peanut butter might be a good handout in periods of starvation - but hunger is a way more complex issue than lack of physical access to calories or nutrients and there is certainly no powder or "technical fix" for the issues involved wit hhunger.

Lack of food is rarely a problem that is found in isolation. It usually exists in a context of social and political turmoil. If first-world countries want to stop people from going hungry, a good first step might be to stop exporting arms, rather than concentrating on handouts.
