In spite of the advances made in agriculture, many people around the world still go hungry. Why is this the case? What can be done about this problem?

#spite #advances #agriculture #people #world #case
Despite the fact that farming methods and yield improved dramatically over the
last
 century, millions of people still do not have enough
food
 to eat. There are social,
economical
Suggestion
economic
 and climatic reasons behind
this
 disturbing phenomenon. Famine or
food
 scarcity only affects the poor. Whether they grow their
food
 or not, the rich will ensure that they have enough on their platter. The poor, unfortunately, lack
this
 purchasing power. If
food
 is not made available at concessional rates, they cannot have
to access
Suggestion
access
 to it. Most of the time poor people do not own any land.
Consequently
, they cannot grow their own
food
. They have to buy their
food
 and when
food
 prices increase, they cannot have their fill. The change in climate
also
 causes famine. Extreme drought like conditions persist in some countries.
For example
, in some parts of Africa it has not rained in years.
Consequently
, people living in those regions cannot grow their crops. They are dependent on
food
 grown in other areas and if
that is
 not available,
then
 these people will have to go hungry. Political reasons
also
 contribute to
this
 problem. Many countries refuse to share their water resources with other countries. Often times
this
 is caused by the enmity between these nations. Unfortunately,
this
 practice affects the
food
 security in those countries that do not have adequate water resources of their own. In order to solve
this
 problem, the governments need to ensure that
food
 is available for the poor for free or at concessional rates. Rich countries which grow surplus
food
 should show the magnanimity to share their excess with poor countries that do not have enough
food
 to feed their people. International organizations can play an important role in ensuring that nations share their wealth and resources with those that need it. To conclude, hunger continues to haunt millions of people even in the 21st century. Often times
this
 is caused by the inequitable distribution of wealth and resources. Rich countries and rich people can do a lot to ensure that the poor
also
 have access to a basic necessity like
food
.
