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

Although

the agricultural sector has seen huge advancements in the past few years, globally a lot of people still suffer from hunger. I believe that

this

is a result of using crops to make biofuels

instead

of Distributing it to the population but governments can mitigate

this

issue by redistributing the available crops. The main cause of

food

insecurity worldwide is the use of plants to make biofuels. Many governments are concerned about the environmental hazards imposed by the combustion of fossil fuels,

as a result

, many countries are now replacing

this

by using wheat, rice, and corn to make fuel which reduces the amount left for people to eat leading to an increase in

food

insecurity despite the advanced agricultural technology.

For instance

, a recent study in North America concluded that more than 50% of the harvested crops are used to manufacture biofuels. Authorities,

however

, can tackle the problem by establishing fairer systems to distribute crops. Prioritizing the human need for

food

is what foodstuff distribution should be based on. Every country is responsible for ensuring the

food

security of every citizen living in it which can be achieved by designing fairer systems that

firstly

fulfil the populations' need and

then

dedicate the remaining percentage of crops for biofuel production and other users.

For example

, the united states of America are planning to increase the percentage of harvested crops for

food

by 1.7% need the Demons of its growing population. In conclusion, many people worldwide are suffering from

food

insecurity despite the new technologies used in agriculture because countries use the majority of their crops to produce biofuels.

This

,

however

, can be tackled by redistributing harvest in a fairway.
