in spite of the advance made in agriculture, many people around the world still go hungry. why is this the case? what can be done about this problem?

Although

we have made incredible advances in the field of agriculture,

food

is still a scarce resource for many

nations

around the globe and

as a result

, many children sleep hungry at night. There are two main causes of

this

phenomenon which are the high cost of transferring the products and conflicts between

countries

,

such

as wars. After discussing the above viewpoints,

this

essay will provide plausible solutions to tackle these pressing issues. Cost to transfer the

food

supplies is so huge for the host

countries

that they may not afford it. The United States,

for instance

, have to destroy many tons of excess wheat every year, because even if they provide at zero price, the receiving

nations

could not afford the cargo charges.

Thus

, it is clear why

food

is being wasted in different regions of the

world

and people are left with their stomach unfilled.

In addition

, when there is a war going on between

nations

, a more aggressive country might not allow others to provide basic amenities, including

food

and medicines supplies. One classic example of Israeli and Palestinian conflict, where, during the wartime, many cargo ships containing

food

items were not letting in and

as a result

, many people had suffered from hunger and disease. In order to combat the above issues, developed

nations

and

world

bank, which has a mission to eradicate poverty from the face of the

world

, should play their part. They can provide interest-free loans to underprivileged

nations

so developing

countries

could pay the shipment charges and can take the benefits of free

food

supplies. By

this

way, we could help humanity and create harmony among different

countries

which is crucial for the long term economic development and survival of the human race.

Furthermore

, the United

Nations

should devote more resources to conflict resolutions. They can place various legislative measure and sign treaties which should state that no matter what people should not be deprived of basic human rights

such

as

food

.

Therefore

, if we can take the above actions, the

food

shortage can be resolved. To conclude, with the help of science and technology, we are able to achieve huge advances in the field of agriculture.

However

, we could not resolve the basic issue of

food

shortage because of political unrest and wars between

countries

and some

nations

could not even afford to pay cargo charges for the

food

. I suggest that prestigious institutions,

such

as the United

Nations

and the

World

Bank, should play their part to resolve

this

issue.
