Main Causes Of The World Hunger That We Must Address To Eliminate It

Millions of people in the world do not have adequate food to eat and are suffering from hunger. One in every nine people in the world sleeps on empty stomach every night.  There are number of causes that have contributed in the situation where our world is in today. However, few greatest causes of world hunger that we must address to eliminate it are given below-

Poor Agriculture Practices- Due to poor and chemical-based agriculture practices, the world has seen a major boost in the issues such as deforestation, soil erosion, desertification, etc. There is a need to improve farming practices with the help of changes such as organic farming because it does not contaminate the air, water and land, and can surely help us meet the growing need of food.

Food Wastage- A number of reports have revealed that every year billions of pounds of good and eatable food is wasted throughout the world. According to stats, one third of all grown food is never eaten, which is devastating. Hence, we have to address it and stop it to ensure that it reaches to the people that need it the most.

Poverty- It is one of the main causes of world hunger, as it is difficult for people living in poverty to have enough money to purchase nutritious food for themselves and their family members. Without nutritious food their bodies become weaker and they fail to earn money that can help them get over poverty and hunger. Therefore, we must address poverty to end the hunger.

Unstable Market- Over the years, price of the food products have been very fluctuating that makes harder for poorer people to access healthy food consistently. There is a need to address this issue, as it can help us to ensure that the poorer people will have access to adequate food throughout the year.

Population Growth- With increasing population, the demand of food grows as well. Growing population particularly affects the developing countries because it becomes hard to match food product rates with the population growth rates. Hence, it is crucial to add the issue of population growth appropriately to end the world hunger.

 If we address factors mentioned above with all our efforts, we can surely contribute in the world hunger relief and eradicate it gradually. Until then, we can be part of the firms, groups, or organizations that are working hard to end the hunger.
