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?
The
technology
advancement is happening in most areas including the agriculture. In spite of a considerable surge in the agricultural technology
, still some people go hungry. This
essay will delve into the reasons behind it and subsequently
, will explore solutions for it.
Apparently, there is a distinct surge in technology
used in the agriculture. For example
, the increase
in an organic food
, and quality of seeds. Still, some countries have people who lack food
. There are many reasons for this
. Firstly
, the increase
in population. The amount of food
generated from the crops are not sufficient enough for all. So, the poor population who cannot afford it are lacking food
. Moreover
, new technology
is not available at cheap price, as as result, crops which use these new methods are costlier, and helping only rich people to use these for the health benefits. A poor person can't afford it and lack good quality food
. Even a poor farmer can't deploy these methods in his field because of the price, thus
, new technology
is being limited to a few people. Consequently
, the increase
in food
is not sufficient.
There are lots of solutions available for this
problem. Some people postulate, with the increase
in technology
, the government
should also
encourage poor farmers to use these technologies by providing some subsidy. To explain in detail, new technology
such
as pest control and quality tractors are very expensive and a poor farmer cannot bear it. The government
should have some regulations based on the income of a farmer. For example
, in India the government
should provide loans to farmers to adopt new improved methods.
In conclusion, surge in technology
is for all and should be available to all. With the government
interference, this
can be used by all and it will surely help to solve the problem of a food
deficiency.Submitted by pjoshi on
