1INCREASE IN URBAN POPULATIONHunger is an important issue that is faced in this 21st century. Over one billion people arehungry chronically in this whole world. The solution to this hunger is movement of people tourban areas. It has been stated that “By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in an urbanenvironment”. This is a solution that is found globally to mitigate the issue of hunger. This leadsto issue of producing food for all its residents those who are in the densely populated areas.Havana and Cuba are such cities those who are able to produce their own food for all theresidents and provides habitat that are self sufficient1. Havana produces almost 50 percent of allits production within the boundaries of the city. As people are moving to the urban areas leadingthe cities in more densely populated, the land for producing food is reducing. Cites cannotprovide protein based food to its residents. Cities that are situated along the riverside are not ableto provide their residents with protein rich fish because of the increasing population. The challenges that arise due to increase in population in the urban areas are:Due to rise in population, cities become more congested for which cultivation andfarming is not possible for the city farmers. No barren lands are available because of theincrease habitat in the cities. Another problem that comes due to increase in population is that less availability of jobsin the cities. As there are fewer jobs available in the market, people remain unemployed.Mostly people migrate to urban areas for the need of money. But due to this increase inpopulation, people are unable to earn the required amount of money.The government is also unable to give service to all the people in the cities because of thenumber of population.1Gabel, Medard.
