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

Nowadays many technologies and methods have developed to make agriculture more efficient. Despite these developments, there are still people suffering from hunger all around the world. Having said that, I believe there are two main causes, improper circumstances for agriculture in these regions and destitution. Possible solutions would be preparing desirable situations for producing
food
in these areas and assistance from wealthier
nations
. As regards the root causes,
firstly
, in most cases there is not sufficient water for irrigating because of drought and appropriate soil is lacking.
In other words
, these
nations
do not have access to the cutting edges in
this
field to make better use of their lands and nearby sources of water and
this
would result in insufficient
food
production.
Secondly
, people in these areas are not able to afford enough
food
as they are destitute.
Moreover
, governments could not deal with
this
difficulty as they are poor as well. To tackle these issues, one step would be helping these
nations
to be able to buy produced crops and eventually
food
from other countries.
This
can be done through the United Nation, as direct assistance, and even as a loan. Another viable solution is improving soil quality and finding reliable sources of water by making use of developments in
this
area. Indeed,
this
would be the governments' responsibility to help their people to make use of developments since they cannot afford new tools. In conclusion, starvation in some countries is due to a lack of enough investments in agriculture and actually is because of poverty. In spite of all contributing factors, proper investments implemented by their government and other
nations
can reduce the severity of
this
issue considerably.
