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?

Despite the advancement in agricultural technology, many people across the globe still suffer from hunger.

This

phenomenon is caused by low productivity because

farmers

cannot afford things to enhance their

production

due to

financial issues. In response to

this

problem,

this

essay proposes the government’s role to interfere and support the local farmer in maximizing the amount of local

production

.

Farmers

around the world do not have the same financial ability to afford agricultural supporting goods.

This

is to say, some

farmers

still use the traditional way to manage their land

thus

they can not maximize the result.

For example

, some

farmers

use fertilizer and insecticides to promote their plants’ growth and to prevent insects from eating their plants.

However

, some of them witness financial difficulty in affording these agricultural goods.

Thus

their plants cannot optimally grow

due to

lack of nutrients and the inteferention of animals.

This

causes a lower amount of produce and cannot meet the demands. The solution to

this

problem is to give financial aid, especially the

farmers

who have limited funds. The local government can provide cash to them or supply fertilizers and insecticides for those who need them. By doing so, the amount of crops produced by the local

farmers

will increase and

thus

will be able to meet the market demands.

For instance

, the municipality of Bantul provided aid for

farmers

through supplying free fertilizers in 2021. In the following months, the authorities recorded there was an increase in the local

production

of rice. In conclusion, hunger in many areas can be caused by people’s limited budget which hinders their

production

.

Therefore

, the authorities’ role in providing aid for them is needed to increase local

production

.
