in spite of advancements made in agriculture, many people around the world still go hungry. why is this case? What can be done about this problem?
Besides
the advancements in agriculture, nations around the world still have food
insecurity. This
essay will discuss the main causes of food
shortage including floods and hoarding. This
essay will also
suggest solutions including building dams and purchasing crops
by the government
.
Fertile agricultural land often exists along water
bodies whenever flow increases in these due to
either rain or melting glaciers catastrophically flooding crops
. In addition
, private enterprises purchase crops
from farmers
because lack of checks and balances by law enforcement agencies, they hoard commodities and gain lots of profit after the increase in demand. For instance
, in 2010, Pakistan was hit by a massive flood, the majority of farmland, especially in the province of Punjab was flooded and the government
did not have enough stock available at that time as a result
there was a shortage of grains, cereals, and vegetables in the country.
Authorities
should build new dams so that water
discharge can be monitored accordingly
. Moreover
, the government
should buy crops
directly from farmers
in this
way not only the farmers
will get high returns for their efforts but authorities
can also
control the supply and demand. For example
, after the 2010 flood in Pakistan, the government
built new dams and now controls the water
flow efficiently. Furthermore
, authorities
are in action, purchasing crops
directly from farmers
and supplying food
in the market effectively. Therefore
, the food
security index is rising to a great extent.
In summary, this
article discussed flooding and hoarding are the main causes of food
shortage. This
article also
suggested that storing water
and acquiring flora from farmers
by authorities
to control the supply and demand chain leads to food
security.Submitted by Haris Khan on
