Because other market-based approaches have successfully combated that as well, right?

I don't support market-based approaches. I'm not a market socialist.

The OECD Nations got to where they are on the back of Capitalism, which gives them significant capacity to assist other nations in need. And they do, billions are spent, farms are built, education is taught, food is donated.
Most capitalist OECD nations produce more food than they consume, where historically other approaches,  have not.

If you take a look at countries with Socialist systems like Zimbabwe, Soviet Russia, Cuba, North Korea... Their track record of reliably feeding their people is tenious at best.
Even China had long periods where food was relatively scarce, thanks to China introducing Capitalist ideas that's rapidly changing.

So is Capitalism the devil? History says no.
