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?

With exceptional technological advancement in the agriculture sector, humans now can produce various types of agricultural products quickly and efficiently.

However

, the lack of foodstuff is still omnipresent and it is still considered one of the greatest challenges of many local authorities. There are various reasons that may be responsible for

this

problem and I shall put forth some ideas to exemplify some rationales and propose some possible solutions to tackle

this

issue. At

first

,

food

waste

may be one of the main causes that lead to inadequate foodstuff in many parts of the world. In fact, the amount of

food

waste

or

food

surplus in developed countries is surprisingly high and tons of edible products are wasted daily in these areas. In rich nations with a high living standard, the general price of groceries is quite low and affordable to most citizens.

As a result

, some consumers tend to remove products that they are no longer interested in as they can purchase them at any time. Another reason that contributes to

this

problem could be the effect of climate change. The population number has increased sharply in recent years and the urbanization phenomenon has been more popular across the globe.

Hence

, in

order

to meet the housing demand of the rising population, businesses and authorities have destroyed numerous rain forests and damaged the ecosystem. Natural disasters

such

as floods, drought or typhoons have been more popular which cause a great loss of agricultural production in many nations.

As a result

,

this

may affect negatively the amount of

food

production and contribute to the increase in hunger.

On the other hand

, decent countermeasures need to be taken in

order

to tackle

this

global issue. Governments need to implement strict policies to protect and preserve nature, forests and farming land.

Moreover

, administrations need to relocate human and financial resources to the agricultural sector in

order

to boost the production process. There should be some regulations or punishments regarding

food

waste

in

order

to raise the awareness of youngsters and decline the amount of

food

waste

annually. In conclusion, there are various factors

such

as climate change and

food

waste

that may contribute to the increase in the adequate

food

supply in many countries. Governments need to take appropriate measures to embrace

this

challenge
