Task 2: In spite of the advances made in agriculture, many people around the world still go

hungry.
Why is this the case?
What can be done about this problem?

Causes Solutions

Cause 1: absence of agricultural technology Solution 1: developed nations => send

in poor parts of the world => not have access
to efficient tools to produce enough food for
the whole population. Ex: hand water is still
practiced => due to a lack of irrigation
system, + a shortage of fertilisers and
pesticides => low crop yields.
Cause 2: unfavourable local conditions
(flooding or drought) => impossible to grow
crops => be made worse as a result of recent
changes in climate patterns.
humanitarian aid => relieve acute food
shortages. Ex: allocate funds to keep food
supply chains operating => have access to
life sustaining food.
Solution 2: innovative countries => send
experts => help low skilled farmers in poorer
countries adopt modern technologies and
farming practices => raise yields + boost
agricultural productivity in general.

SAMPLE:

It is true that people in some parts of the world still suffer from starvation despite agricultural
advances. This essay will discuss the reasons behind this phenomenon and then offer some
solutions to it.

A lack of modern technology and extreme weather could be two factors responsible for the
issue of widespread hunger. Chief among these is the absence of agricultural technology in poor
parts of the world, meaning that people in these vulnerable areas do not have access to efficient
tools to overcome obstacles faced in traditional agriculture. For example, hand watering is still
practiced in some regions due to a lack of irrigation systems, while a shortage of fertilisers and
pesticides may also lead to low crop yields. Another major reason is that unfavourable local
conditions such as floods or droughts can make it almost impossible to grow crops. This
impact is even made worse as a result of recent changes in climate patterns.

International aid, nevertheless, can be provided to mitigate the issue. A simple solution to start
with is for developed nations to send humanitarian aid, including food, to help relieve acute food
shortages. In fact, several countries with strong economies have been allocating funds to keep
food supply chains operating so that people in countries in food crises can have access to life
sustaining food. As far as technology is concerned, innovative countries can send experts to
help low-skilled farmers in poorer countries adopt modern technologies and farming practices,
which can raise crop yields and boost agricultural productivity in general. This means that there
can be enough food to feed the whole local communities, thereby leading to a decline in hunger.

In conclusion, I believe that regional hunger can stem from limited access to new technology
and unavoidable factors. However, assistance from international communities can be useful to
alleviate the situation.
