In economics the scarcity problem is about limited resources. People don't starve because of scarce resources--they starve because of greed and politics.

The amount of money thrown at the problem and the willingness of people to work. to feed themselves is already more than enough resources to solve it. It's a problem of people and our institutions, not that it's costly to solve it (it's extremely cheap, in relative terms, actually).
