Inspite 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?

Regardless of all improvements in agriculture, plenty of individuals in

this

world are still hunger-stricken. Inequitable

land

distribution is one reason why it is so and governments may play a vital role in addressing

this

problem. A lot of improvements have been made in agriculture.

However

, some individuals or communities are still famished around the globe.

To begin

,

this

may be due to monopolies in productive

land

ownership by the elite.

This

means that the poor will be driven to non-productive resulting in failure to produce enough food for themselves and their families. As an example, a

land

audit carried out by the South African government in 2017 revealed that

over 80% of the arable and productive

land

is owned by powerful politicians and the rich leaving the poor to grow poorer and hungrier.

Nevertheless

, there are potential solutions that can help to minimize the problem.

Firstly

the government should ensure equitable distribution of

land

.

That is

,

land

should

also

be allocated to small scall subsistent farmers to enable them to produce for their and families' consumption.

For instance

having to consider what one owns before doing so.

Secondly

, state authorities should

also

ensure that a percentage of the produce from the rich and elite be channelled to feed the hungry in

this

world.

As a result

, no one will do hungry. To conclude, agricultural mechanization and advancement are not the sole interventions to ensure food security for all, equitable

land

distribution, as well as food handouts from the rich to the poor, may ensure that people are well fed.
