a. My issue is world hunger and that many steps need to be taken in order to work on a solution.  Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger so the public needs to stop being selfish and approach this issue with everything that they've got.  Technological advances and monetary support will lead to a solution especially if majorities of people are willing to offer their support.

b. The groups interested in this issue include those suffering from hunger, scientists, farmers, and everyday people who want to make an impact on the world.  Those suffering will support anyone trying to help them out.  The scientists are interested in helping out through biotechnology.  Farmers may be concerned about new technology and they may not be willing to change their ways if money is an issue in using the technology.  Everyday people will express sympathy towards the subject and try to help out by donating actual food or money through organizations, making themselves aware of what is going on with the subject, and by voting for the people that will work towards fixing the problem.  Poverty is one of the leading causes of hunger, so any medical professionals would be concerned about the hungry because malnutrition threatens their health.

c. Many are in support of helping reduce hunger but a "majority prefers to give aid through multilateral institutions rather than bilaterally."  Average Americans would want to help out, but they would not be too willing to pay the costs.  Many believe that money for world hunger should be given through private organizations as opposed to government programs.

d.  I agree that money towards world hunger should be given out through private organizations over the government.  I think that many programs out there would succeed at accomplishing aid over a government regulated program.
