I remember seeing a team of remote medical workers who were seeing children dying of starvation- but still sick after raw grains (rice) were shipped to their area because the water was contaminated. They invemted this peanut butter, grain/water mixture that they packaged. It can be eaten or drank- it came in it's own ready to consume packet. That was the answer. they then had the basic bulk manufacturing machines and raw materials brought to the region & suddenly the mortality rate was majorly turned around.
