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

Nowadays,
due to
the development in agricultural technology, the
food
produced worldwide would be enough for the population,
however
, many people suffer from malnutrition. In my opinion, the wrong
distribution
of foodstuff and the tons of good
food
that goes to
waste
around the world are the leading causes, but these could be solved if
governments
would set up an equal repartition of nourishment and improve the current measures of foodstuff treatment. A major leading cause of continued hunger is the poor
distribution
of nourishment around the world.
This
is because some
countries
consume more
food
than they need,
while
others suffer from malnutrition.
For example
, many developed
countries
have large numbers of restaurants, where citizens enjoy delicious meals as a pastime. Meanwhile, in other developing
countries
, citizens do not have enough
food
for their entire families.
This
could be solved if
governments
would establish laws to distribute
food
according to
the inhabitants of each country, resulting in an equal
distribution
of resources. Another relevant cause of
this
issue is the tons of
food
that are wasted
as a result
of improper foodstuff treatment.
Although
many states try to reduce the amount of
food
wasted, it is a fact that some states
waste
large amounts of
food
each day,
according to
recent news.
Moreover
, these products could be consumed or sent to developing
countries
before they go to
waste
.
For example
,
countries
such
as the United States throw away tons of
food
to
waste
every day
instead
of giving it to homeless people.
This
situation could be addressed if
governments
set up measures for
food
treatment, punishing
countries
that misuse
food
and encouraging others to reduce their amounts of
food
waste
.
To conclude
, I believe that poor
distribution
of nourishment and the amount of
food
that is
wasted are the main causes of people’s hunger. Both of these problems could be solved if
governments
increase their controls over
food
distribution
, setting up an equal repartition
according to
the population and punishing
countries
which misuse the
food
they consume in order to reduce people’s hunger.
