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
