and amelioration in technology were made in the previous decades in the area of agriculture,
such
as the development of all kinds of farming machinery, and seeds which are more productive and pest-resistant.
However
, a considerable amount of people on Earth still habitually suffer from hunger. In
this
essay, we will try to shed some light on the possible reasons and solutions to
this
problem.
First
and foremost, we can see that the hunger problem mainly happens in the developing
countries
whilst the adoption of the agricultural technologies aforementioned mainly occurs in the developed

the construction of infrastructure. Indeed, agriculture needs tons of infrastructure like

facilities, farmers are in a high-risk and high-cost situation and very likely the production level is not high enough to feed people's mouths. In light of these, in order to alleviate the problems, developing
countries
should consider different ways to finance their infrastructure like dams and
water
pipes, which is understandably easier said than done. Still, more in-depth ideas,
