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

Even though

agriculture

is progressing considerably and has become the basic part of the economies of some

countries

, many peoples around the world are suffering from famine. It is believed that

this

issue is

due to

inevitable climatic problems and civil

wars

ongoing in some

countries

. Despite the huge advances in

agriculture

, there are several reasons why some

countries

have difficulty in providing their citizens with their primary needs for food. A major cause of the problem is that the

agriculture

of certain African

countries

,

such

as Yemen and Ethiopia, is usually affected by drought every year. Dry weather conditions are causing the crops to die,

as a result

of which local inhabitants are weakening from hunger and the economy is ruining.

Furthermore

,

countries

like Syria and Afghanistan have

also

the same trouble which is brought about by different

wars

continuing in these territories. The civil

wars

in Syria, to take one instance, are damaging significantly the economy of the country and

consequently

causing a lack of food and other staples. On the whole, by implementing new techniques in

agriculture

and trying to stop civil

wars

starvation can be solved or alleviated.

However

, it is easy to say but requires more attention and successful efforts.

Firstly

,

countries

in arid areas should implement new techniques of dryland farming which are more efficient and used in most developed

countries

or planting crops which are more tolerant of drought like rye ought to be encouraged.

Secondly

, civil

wars

in some

countries

should be reduced or stopped if possible and

this

can relieve or diminish the problem of starvation in those

countries

. Because of the fact that there are the impacts of much bigger

countries

like the USA on these ,

wars

the UN should do more to tackle

such

issues. In conclusion, climatic problems and

wars

are causing many people to starve. In my opinion, new farming methods and maintaining peace in fighting

countries

can solve

this

.
