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

Recent years have witnessed tremendous developments in agricultural science yet every day communities all over the earth continue to suffer and even die from hunger. In my opinion,

is because innovations rarely impact the developing

and the best result for it is to direct humanitarian funding towards these advances. The main cause of more advanced agricultural methods not reaching the family who needs them the most is that the developing

has trouble implementing these methods. There are a number of reasons for

ranging from limited financial resources to poor existing infrastructure to political instability, depending on the country in question. One example of

who would become agricultural scientists end up drawn into the conflict as soldiers or victims. Long-term economic neglect means that the government has very limited ability to subsidise farming. These problems are present to varying degrees in countries around the

and offer one possible explanation for the continued prevalence of hunger. The solution that I believe would be most effective is directing humanitarian funds previously focused on food aid towards education and agricultural infrastructure. Food aid is a notoriously poor solution because it only offers an immediate solution and warlords often exploit it to support their continued mistreatment of their

in need. There is a TedTalk by a young man in Kenya who built his own windmill out of old bicycle parts and by reading a book in the local library.

will have an impact that lasts for decades and is relatively impervious to the factors preventing agricultural advances from taking root in developing countries. In conclusion, developing companies face myriad problems that hinder their ability to take advantage of newer agricultural models and we should direct more funding to help these communities learn more about new farming methods.
