In contrast "We need $40 billion dollars per year to feed all of the world’s hungry people and end global hunger by 2030".

$40 billion per year for 9 years total according to your link. So $360 billion.

Still exceptionally cheap for what is does, though.

It sounds like a lot, but when you put it in proper context, it's like chump change. Just take 2023 spending: $40 billions from $2.44 trillions, still leaves $2.40 trillions for defense.
