Topic > Hunger and the environment: can we have both? - 758

Are we able to feed the hungry and protect the environment at the same time? This is the kind of question many people have been trying to answer for years. To be precise there are three types of hunger in this world: hunger, world hunger and malnutrition. All three have the same general awareness around them, that is, people not getting enough daily food at the right intake, but can we grow enough food to address this problem without the tragic effect of harming our environment? Yes, I think it's possible. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the cumulative total of people suffering from hunger in the world amounts to approximately 870 million out of 7.1 billion. About one in eight people suffer from it (2013 World Hunger and Poverty Facts and Statistics). It seems like we have all the technological progress to end hunger, but the biggest problem is that we don't have enough land to farm on. . Most hunger-related problems occur in low-developed countries, where the land itself is very difficult to cultivate. This is due to the huge number of people living there. For example, in India about 95% of the population dies of hunger because there are too many mouths to feed. The county is extremely overpopulated with people living in poverty. The land is very dusty and not very agriculturally enriched. As for the world producing enough food for everyone, “The world produces enough food to feed everyone. Global agriculture today produces 17% more calories per capita than 30 years ago, despite a 70% increase in population. This is enough to provide everyone in the world with at least...half of paper...ionService." 2013 Facts and Statistics on World Hunger and Poverty by the World Hunger Education Service.
