The easiest and most sensible way to fix this would be to adjust subsidies.
To help control crop prices, some farmers are actually paid by the gubmint to not plant. We should find farms that are subsidized to not grow, but instead give them that money to plant edible crops that are immediately passed on to the "poor". Since they are probably not consumers anywhere in the chain (except in the "free" section of it), it wouldn't be a disruption to use what those farms reap and immediately supply food to repair a need.
