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

Despite improvements in farming, several individuals around the globe continue to go hungry.

This

essay will discuss poor transportation as a cause and promoting of urban cultivation and encouraging

youth

involvement in farming as solutions.

To begin

with, Poor transportation would result in

food

shortage.

This

occurs because most rural communities in which plants are cultivated in large scales have bad roads,

hence

food

transportation is difficult and most perish before arriving major cities.

Therefore

, rate of hunger is increased. To illustrate, a rural settlement in Abak which is located in Akwa Ibom state cultivates cassava

that is

processed into

garri

a state of high honor

glory

gore

fury

.

As a result

of bad road, the peasant farmers are unable to supply to townships.

However

, Promotion of urban cultivation is a solution. If, it is promoted there will be more

food

for city dwellers because they would not depend on the local settlements for supply.

Hence

,

food

will be cheap and available and hunger is eliminated.

For instance

, a family residing in an estate has a vegetable farm,

hence

veggies are always available in the neighbourhood and people do not depend on market traders.

In addition

,

youth

involvement in agriculture should be encouraged. When, young adults who posses strength than the elderly are involved in planting staple foods,

this

will result in more harvest seasonally.

Thus

, edibles will be surplus.

For example

, in a certain Urban environment, some

youth

prefered

more desirable than another

preferred

several forms of agriculture over office jobs and

this

resulted in an enormous harvest and most could afford because

food

prices were cheaper. In conclusion,

although

people go hungry because of bad transport system.

However

, promotion of city farming and

youth

participation are solutions.
