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

#spite #advances #agriculture #people #world #case
The recent progress in agricultural technology has allowed a considerable number of
people
 to gain access to
food
.
However
, there is still a
population
 that has suffered from destitution.
This
 essay addresses the reasons for
this
 phenomenon and solutions for dealing with
this
 problem. The primary reason why plenty of
people
 continuously faces poverty is that the world's overall
population
 has increasingly grown. With the economic growth in developing countries, their populations have surged to gain labour workers, resulting in a serious shortage of
food
.
For example
, Indonesia's
population
 has drastically increased;
however
, domestic agricultural businesses are no longer able to catch up to the public's consumption.
Furthermore
, the devastation of infrastructure prevents the establishment of a successful supply chain. Some places
such
 as conflict zones lack fundamental facilities, which make
food
 producers harder to deliver their
food
 to customers. There are two possible solutions.
First
 of all, the government can conduct restrictions on overpopulation. To reduce the poverty rate caused by the growing
population
, the government can enforce legislation to control the
population
.
This
 is well exemplified by China. China set the regulation that families can give birth to only one child, which served reduction of
population
.
Besides
, NGOs and international volunteer bodies can bring
food
 to isolated areas. For suffering
people
 who do not have an access to
food
, NGOs and volunteer workers can provide provisions. In conclusion, I believe the
food
 scarcity has occurred due to the growing
population
 and the lack of accessibility to
food
. To tackle
this
 problem, the government can take action for regulating the
population
, and NGOs and volunteers can assist
people
 who are in remote areas by delivering
food
.
