despite advances in agriculture, many people in the world are still hungry. Why is this so? what are the likely solutions

The advancements in technology have revolutionised almost every field and the agriculture department is one of them.Despite

this

, it has been seen that many people in undeveloped

countries

still starving and under the effect of malnutrition.In my opinion, climate change and overpopulation are the main reasons behind

this

issue and I will discuss these in the following paragraphs with the possible solutions.

This

is true that man has manufactured a lot of tools , machines and fertilisers to increase the productivity in farming.

However

, humans can not control the climate and the weather conditions on which crops depend.The heavy rain and almost no rain have adverse effects on farming which

further

decrease the yield of the crops.

For example

, in 2021 in India, due to very little rain,the yield of the rice crop dropped by 60 per cent as compared to the previous year.The solution to

this

problem would be the storage of the stock in the years when production is high for emergency situations by the government . The other reason behind the starvation of many people is overpopulation. There are very few

countries

in the world which have soil and weather conditions suitable for farming.

Otherwise

, most of the other

countries

have extreme climate conditions and the soil is not appropriate for agriculture.

Therefore

, on the whole, sometimes , It is not possible to feed all the population with the present amount of farming.To illustrate, there are many undeveloped

countries

in South Africa which depend on food from other

countries

as their land is not suitable for farming and one can see many people over there starving and malnourished due to lack of food.I hope in the coming years science will find some solutions to grow crops there as well with the help of greenhouses. To sum up, it is true that some

countries

are struggling with hunger and malnutrition but

this

problem is only mitigated by the governments of all

countries

by helping one another.
