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

In today's advanced world, science and technology have helped improve all aspects of our life even in the field of agriculture. But even with so advancement in agriculture, most people around the globe do not have enough
food
.
This
essay will discuss the possible reasons for
this
and put forward several solutions to reduce
this
issue. The predominant factors resulting in
this
problem are inflation and ignorance of
government
.
In other words
, everything from clothes to
food
has become so costly that it is not easy for a big family to earn and spend a lot on
food
.
Additionally
, the
government
does not care about the people who do not have money to buy
food
.
For instance
, according to a survey posted in the Times newspaper, fifty-five per cent of people in India sleep empty stomach and the
government
shelters do not do anything about it.
Nevertheless
, there are potential solutions that have help in minimizing
this
problem.
Firstly
, the
government
should put a check on the prices of
food
. Any basic eatable item should not be sold more than the MRP.
For example
, bread should not be sold for more than ten as it is a basic necessity.
Secondly
, incharge's of
government
shelters should prepare enough
food
for everyone in the shelter.
This
way nobody sleeps with
food
.
Such
steps can reduce the number of people who are still hungry. In conclusion, price-rise and
government
's carelessness are the reasons why people are still hungry.
However
, steps by the
government
can significantly help in reducing
this
problem.
