Despite the numerous technological revolutions in agriculture all through the centuries, the

h

as still conquered

Suggestion

is still conquering

starvation. In my opinion,

hunger

still persists because of wars in certain areas and

also

because the rich have not taken the poor seriously. One major reason why

hunger

persists despite technological advancements in farming is because of strife among nations. In essence, when countries fight each other, they destroy crops and

food

in order to limit the strength of the opposition.

For example

, there was mass destruction of farm lands during the

world

wars fought in the twentieth century and

this

consequently

led to global

food

shortages.

This

resulted in d

eaths

Suggestion

the deaths

of millions of people and inability to continue the war. Another major reason is greed amongst rich people. The rich do not care about the welfare of the poor and

hence

they do not invest in

production

of

food

in the nations where they dwell.

This

has gradually left many poor people hungry without and though there have been technological improvements in farming, these people are too poor to benefit. I believe that if nations sort to find solutions for their differences, there will be no wars.

This

means that countries must take a deliberate effort at ensuring that they do not fight one another. In

this

case, it means that countries should set up a global judicial system

such

that issues between countries can be resolved amicably.

This

would ensure that no one destroys

food

because of strife.

Also

, the rich should invest in

production

of foods commonly consumed by low income earners.

In other words

, if rich people invest money on equipment for m

anufacture

Suggestion

the manufacture

of cheap foods,

then

world

hunger

will be history. A case in point is the instance when the people of Monrovia established factories for mass

production

of semolina.

This

caused lots of people to resort to c

onsumption

Suggestion

the consumption

of semolina and

hence

h

unger issue

Suggestion

the hunger issue

was stopped. In conclusion,

although

there are reasons why

hunger

persists despite technological e

volvement

the act of sharing in the activities of a group

involvement

in agriculture, finding other means to resolve disputes and investments in poor people’s

food

production

are sure ways to eliminate

world

hunger
