Union is not what you want. You want to use joins to create single rows. It's a little unclear what constitutes a unique row in your tables and how they really relate to each other and it's also unclear if one table will have rows for every country in every year. But I think this will work:
CREATE VIEW V AS (
SELECT i.country,i.year,p.pop,f.food,i.income FROM
INCOME i
LEFT JOIN
POP p
ON
i.country=p.country
LEFT JOIN
Food f
ON
i.country=f.country
WHERE
i.year=p.year
AND
i.year=f.year
);
The left (outer) join will return rows from the first table even if there are no matches in the second. I've written this assuming you would have a row for every country for every year in the income table. If you don't things get a bit hairy as MySQL does not have built in support for FULL OUTER JOINs last I checked. There are ways to simulate it, and they would involve unions. This article goes into some depth on the subject: http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2006/05/26/how-to-write-full-outer-join-in-mysql/
