Despite the advances made in agriculture, many people around the world still go hungry. What is the cause? What can be done about it?

These days, numerous people all over the globe continue to experience hunger despite agricultural achievements.

This

stems from overpopulation and poverty, but could something be done about

this

ugly trend? Certainly yes, there are workable solutions. There are several reasons why hunger is rampant even though the practice of farming has improved greatly. For one, too many inhabitants lead to food shortage as demands exceed supplies.

This

is because of high birth rates and low death rates made possible by concomitant medical advancements, leading to increased life expectancies. Elsewhere, the number of impoverished people has increased in recent times;

as a result

,

this

edible substance has become

unaffordable

impossible to avoid or evade

unavoidable

even though it is readily available. A particularly good example is India, a poor country, where the majority of the people are malnourished due to abject poverty.

However

, there are viable ways to fix

this

issue, the most pertinent of which is population control by means of birth control. To illustrate, China’s one-child per household policy has been able to cut down the rate of population growth;

thus

, people are now able to be fed by the authorities. Yet another possible approach is poverty alleviation by the political administrators through practical strategies to tackle

this

dangerous development. Should

this

measure be unachievable, they could

also

seek help from wealthy nations of the world

such

as seen in 2004 when Ghana appealed for financial aids from France, and

this

resulted in a 30% decline in starvation. In conclusion, been starved could be due to a number of factors, but financial assistance to the poor and a reduction in the population size would ameliorate

this

trend. Only in

this

way,

therefore

, can a world that seems full of well-fed people be achieved.
