Recently, the subject matter of the lack of adequate supply of food has become a not only serious but also pandemic issue, with a number of causative factors which I will briefly explore in this essay before proposing some solutions.

  Technically, a combination of factors may appear responsible for this global hunger. The root of the problem seems to be poverty. In many underdeveloped or developing countries, people still do not earn good enough to sustain their or their family’s basic needs, that is fundamental food or fruit. Another principal factor, in the equation, is the lack of access to necessary infrastructure to cultivate a sufficient food supply. In many Asian or African countries, the modern and sophisticated agricultural implements do not exist. Even climate change can equally contribute to this conundrum.

  To address this question, I can propose one or two corrective measures. One commonsense approach can be the donation of food resource. This can be implemented by assigning or requiring certain organizations or governments to carry it out. Over time, a vaster diversity of people would readily access whatever they need and will not go hungry. However, this cost-intensive and demanding strategy will place an unfair and heavy burden on shoulder of advanced countries.

  A further reasonable step, to take, is that industrialized states offer education to unprivileged ones. This can be achieved by providing the latter with mechanisms whereby they achieve knowledge, concerning the more efficient management of natural/human resources or even development of farming technology, to become self-sufficient in producing their own crops. In the long run, most nations in the world would begin enjoying the fruits of their self-reliance, eliminating this disease of deprived societies at root.

  In sum, much as the global starvation can stem from financial hardship together with lack of essential facilities, it can to a certain extent be stemmed if the capable assist the weak, or alternatively arm them with the powerful weapon called education.
