I know a missionary who is in Kenya to help with agriculture and the soil. He said that the soil isn 't very good over there and that’s why nothing is growing well. He wants to teach other good agricultural methods to families so they can provide for themselves. Even though the agriculture in Kenya is the largest contributor of Kenya’s GDP, only 8% of the land is used for crop and feed production, but only 20% of that is even suitable for agriculture (Abrams, Andy).
Technically the earth produces enough food for everyone, but the food is not able to reach those who need food. University of California study found that “relatively small, and potentially overestimated, differences in yield between organic and conventional agriculture, despite …show more content…
This is why world hunger is such a big problem in the Middle East and Africa because they have no good soil left. In Africa, there are so many different climates, that all people can do is raise animals because the soil and because of the climate. Even though raising animals are the best form of agriculture in Africa, some parts of Africa, there are some restrictions on animal agriculture grazing because there is no grass for the animals to graze (“Soil Erosion and Cultivation” 39). In Australia, there is a bunch of soil deterioration from the European immigrants coming in and using and destroying their land. There have been many practices in Australia to try to make the soil deterioration stop, but it is still not getting better (“Soil Erosion and Cultivation” 39). Some people don’t care about all of the erosion even though it is affecting their lives. In the Soil and Water Conservation for Productivity and Environmental Protection book in chapter two called “Soil Erosion and Cultivation”, it says, “For centuries, only farm workers and farmland owners seemed aware of soil erosion. Only they appeared to have any interest in doing anything to reduce it… Nonfarm people considered erosion a farmer’s problem… erosion is harmful to the land and eventually will hurt everyone” (“Soil Erosion and Cultivation” …show more content…
Whether if it is organic farming or conventional farming, both will feed the world, even if it is a little at a time. But really world hunger will never be solved because of how many people there are in the world, with the population only growing, and how many people that need to be reached. No matter how much food we produce, the hungry will still be hungry. That doesn’t mean to give up on feeding the world, it just means keep trying to feed the hungry and to make the percent of world hunger go
