A lot of individuals around the globe are still suffering from famine despite innovations in the field of agriculture. I believe this is the case because of the widespread presence of corrupt government officials, and only when countries dispose of them will hunger truly end.
With corruption rooted so deeply in many governments, most countries do not have the purchasing power to acquire new farming equipment. Furthermore, when countries cannot accommodate their growing populations due to the lack of methods of growing crops, most of their subjects will succumb to hunger. This is especially true in nations riddled with fraudsters and embezzlers; when officials steal taxpayers’ money, they cripple the economy of their nations, further exacerbating the problem and leading their citizens to their certain demise. Let us take Kenya, for instance; they are facing one of the worst food scarcity problems in the recent era because the corrupt officials decided to embezzle money instead of buying weather-resistant farming machines to accommodate to global warming. If they continue to steal money from the already struggling government, they will cripple the purchasing power of their citizens even more.
The one and only solution to this issue is to simply dispose of corrupt individuals in positions of power. Rulers of different nations and kingdoms can simply lock up embezzlers and replace them with trustworthy figures. By doing so, they ensure that funds are distributed equitably towards various purposes, particularly the subsidies allocated to improving the agricultural sector. This will alleviate some of the financial burden on their subjects, allowing citizens of all classes to be able to buy basic food items, such as rice and flour, which can help eradicate famine. Let us take Jordan, for example; they entered a period of famine in the last decade and were not able to exit it until the king decided to imprison all the corrupt ministers; only after that did Jordanians really experience satiety.
In conclusion, famine is one of the world’s most important issues, despite all the technological advancements made in the field of agriculture. The rotting problem of corruption and embezzlement is found in various nations around the world, and I believe that no country will be able to truly tackle the problem of hunger until they address this issue promptly.
