Nowadays, with highly developed technology, a considerable amount of countries put plenty of effort into their agriculture industry. However, there still have a large number of people on the globe who suffered starvation. As far as I am concerned, the reasons contributing to the situation are the severe natural environments and the lack of education.

In my opinion, the severe natural environment is the main reason for those developing countries that lack food. Crops in those critical natural environments are hard to breed. For instance, the vast forest in Africa is no suitable place for cultivating, compared with the plain alongside the river. As in the rainforest, the soil’s nutrition is all absorbed by other plants, having nothing left for cereal. Or like the Sahara desert, those places lack water for grain crop growth.

Besides, education is also a vital factor in agriculture. Without the guidance of specialists, those uneducated farmers could barely choose the proper crops that the place fits for. Furthermore, farmers who lack education also know less about operating agricultural machinery. To sum up, the lack of education has become an inevitable factor in the countries’ famine.

To solve the two problems above, two solutions I think are of vital importance. First of all, the local government should provide a fundamental guarantee, giving them access to enough food. Next, specialists should take responsibility for the local environment reformation and agricultural technical guidance. Although technology is highly developed, we still need relevant specialists to teach farmers and local administrators advanced techniques.
