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?

In the

last

century, we have made significant scientific and technological progress, which has transformed every field. Agriculture is one of those sectors where these advances have greatly impacted.

However

, the issue of people starving has remained consistent. The prime reasons are uneven weather due to global warming and costly

tools

for implementing the aforementioned advances. According to climate experts, global warming is the biggest concern for our generation. Global warming has caused uneven climatic changes all around the world.

This

has affected hugely for the peasant because the crop quality and quantity depends mainly on the weather.

For example

, the

farmers

of India depend on monsoon rains for adequate water in their fields, but due to global warming, the rains have become inconsistent and have damaged the crops.

Also

, due to the population boom in the

last

few decades have resulted in lesser availability of land for

farmers

to meet the demand of the increasing population.

This

has increased the number of people starving. In spite of the advances made in the

last

century, the devices required for the implementation them remained expensive and beyond the reach of the normal

farmers

. Instances

such

as seeds that are genetically modified to provide great yield are very much costlier than the seeds that do not provide so.

This

nullifies the effort of our scientists.

In addition

,

farmers

are not aware of the new technological means that are available in the market for them, and

thus

they are reluctant to use one of those are made available to them.

Hence

, these factors have contributed to less yield, eventually more starved people. It is the duty of the government to ensure nobody sleeps without having food in their respective nation.

Therefore

, they should make programs and spread awareness about these

tools

and their benefits. They should

also

provide subsidies to these

tools

for the

farmers

so that they can easily buy and use these advanced

tools

. The decentralised concerned government bodies should arrange to meet these

farmers

and know their issues related to farming, and remove the barriers between the

farmers

and these advanced

tools

and knowledge.
