SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL ISSUES1
Discussion 1
Considering the world hunger statistics, Asia is that continent where two thirds of the
total population suffer from hunger. Moreover, the parts of Sub Saharan has the highest number
of undernourished people where 1 out of every 4 people are said to suffer (foodaidfoundation.org
2019). The global scenario of hunger always points out Africa to be one of the countries with
highest food scarcity.
Out of the many reasons poverty and poor infrastructure lead to hunger problem. Both the
developed and developing countries face the problem of poverty where many communities have
an income level that could not suffice most of their requirements. The maximum people who
falls in this category are the farmers who has scarcity of land to grow proper food, or even afford
to sustain themselves (bread.org 2019). Poor infrastructure being the other problem has also
contributed to global hunger. Many a time, the lack of proper transport facilities, irrigational
problem, lack of technologies, etc. have resulted in less supply of food materials to the areas
where it needs the most (bread.org 2019).
The rapid progress in biotechnology has certainly paved way for new researches that
could put an end to the global hunger. The genetically modified seeds can be used for growing
crops that has both economj0iically and environmentally sustainability. However, there are
some limitations to biotechnology which can lead to the arousal of various problems like disease
outbreaks including Ebola and Zika virus (foodaidfoundation.org 2019).
Research on biotechnology has further implications as it has raised some important
ethical questions. For instance whether alteration of human genes is morally correct or not.
Moreover, it also invites some diseases like Alzheimer’s in the process of the experimentation.
