These are a couple of high level problems...

A large global problem is still starvation, millions of people dying every year. Work on helping countries feed themselves.

Majority of the world does not have access to internet, decentralised peer to peer networks could help here.

True. Starvation is a big problem. I don't know if software can even help here, but do you know of companies taking such an approach to solving this?

Thanks for the pointer about the internet. I will check out Project Loon and Internet.org.

Software is used to help solve almost every single problem on the planet so I'm sure there's a way to help the problem of starvation in poorer countries. Not sure of any specific companies, but that doesn't mean there's no need for it.

Goodluck, hope you find something!

fyi there are projections showing that in the 2040s (if not 2030s) the food supply could collapse from global warming, causing mass starvation
