Nowadays, even in developed countries, hunger and famine has become a major and jarring problem. Notwithstanding the advanced technological methods and mass food production, many people around the world still go hungry.
One of the main reasons for this problem is the gradual increase of the human population. But this is only a minor concern when it comes to battling hunger and feeding the human population. In certain environmental conditions, it is an impossible task to grow a plant that can survive the harsh and arid weather conditions. The amount of water consumption should also be taken into consideration when growing edible plants. Humans fulfil their main nutritional needs by the consumption of carbohydrates, but this can be quite an obstacle when it comes to growing such plants in extreme weather conditions. Usually the edible plants that thrive on extreme weather conditions rely less on absorbing external nutrients. Therefore, they are frequently found to be less nutritious and healthy. So consuming these plants as food can cause nutritional deficiencies in young children and even adults.
Another stateworthy cause for the food shortage is classism. It is found that people with higher social status living in regions with extreme environmental conditions are less likely to experience hunger and become malnourished. I believe that this happens due of their ample financial connections and ability to afford exported food from other well developed countries such as the UK and USA.
Overall, it is evident that financial security and lack of huger go hand in hand. There is an undeniable link between the two that cannot be avoided. Acommunity is more likely to suffer and waste away from starvation due to poverty than financially stable people. Therefore, it is our duty and responsibility to lend a hand to humanity and be empathetic towards their shortcomings. Together we can overcome this disaster and make the world a safer and healthier place for all.
