The world has enough
resources to eliminate hunger. Still, millions of people of different parts of
the world go to bed hungry.
·
Why
is this sorry state of affairs?

How
can we make the world hunger-free?
It is an undeniable fact
that the world is rich enough to keep the whole population fed decently. This condition
notwithstanding, people in huge numbers go hungry all over the world. There must
be obvious reasons for this, and there are ways to keep the world off hunger.
The primary reason for
hunger in this resource-rich world is the uneven distribution of population. For
example, demographic findings show that nearly 57 percent of the global population
is housed in Asia where, naturally, hunger is common. Besides this, the global
resources are divided unequally between poor and rich regions. To be precise,
60 percent of the resources is wielded by the rich European countries and the
Americas, and the remaining is left for the rest of the world. No wonder, there
is hunger. To cap it all, the rich-poor divided that exists between people of
the same population also is able to keep many people hungry.
Anyway, there are ways to
see that the wolf is kept at bay. The first way-out is to give quality
education for all; so that the educated will find jobs and they will be able to
afford three times meal a day. Apart from this, there should be concerted
efforts to keep population from exploding further. Along with this, densely
populated nation may resort to scientific farming practices so as to meet the
rising food needs of the population. The rich nations can share their
technology and surplus supplies to other parts of the world.
To put it briefly, hunger in
this rich world may have different reasons regionally speaking, but the
remedial measures to eradicate it from the face of it are of greater significance
wherever there is hunger.
