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

In the

last

few decades, the agriculture industry has made huge progress and many developments.

However

, recent research has shown that still, the majority of people around the globe are suffering from hunger.

This

essay will attempt to explore the reasons and solutions to

this

issue

.

To begin

with, the

first

important reason is the economic inequality among world nations and even with a country among various classes of society. It is common knowledge that the average wage is not equal for all the employees in most countries.

As a result

, for the lower class of society who are hard workers, it is barely possible to afford a normal meal for their family despite how hard they work.

For instance

, according to the new statements from UNICEF, 75% of workers in India are underpaid and forced to work for longer hours. The simple solution for

this

matter could be strict labour law enforcement.The

second

major reason for people not being able to get sufficient

food

is an increase in the unemployment rates in many countries. With the Covid pandemic running rampant, people will have more difficulties finding jobs so, there will be less income for most folks (families).

This

will result in having insufficient funds for

food

. There is another reason behind the hunger

issue

, which is the inflation in commodity prices.

For example

, since the Ukraine war ,Russia, as the main exporter of gas to Europe, stopped all their export resulting in massive increases in prices for most of the utilities and daily needs. To wrap it up, there is no doubt that we are living on a rich planet so,

food

is a human right and everybody should be able to have access to

food

. A wise person once said: “hunger is not an

issue

of charity, it is an

issue

of justice”.
