Writing Feedback / Food shortage is still prevalent, despite of using modern technologies in the agricultural industry [3]

In spite of the advances made in agriculture, many people around the world still go hungry.

Why is this the case? What can be done about this problem?
Give reason for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.

My response:

Although in the present age, enhanced technologies are being used in the agricultural industry, food shortage is still prevalent in many areas of the world. There are many people in almost all developing countries who do not get enough food to eat because of reasons such as poverty and rising demand for food due to population growth. This article discusses the possible ways to tackle this problem.

Even though science and technology has made it possible for producing a substantial quantity of food, the population of the world is ever growing exponentially. As a result, the total production of food might not be sufficient for all the people. Apart from this, food crisis is a major issue in many countries, especially developing ones, where majority of population are poor. Because of poverty, they cannot even afford for daily bread. This situation is worsened by the fact that developing countries are yet to adapt modern agricultural technology for cultivation and harvesting. Relying on traditional methods means less production. For instance, most farmers in many parts of south Asia still sow paddy manually. This consumes a lot of time but gets only a little done.

As a solution to mitigate world hunger, developing countries could be made aware that it is time that they start learning and adapting to modern technologies. Incentives could be provided to farmers to encourage them to produce more crops and vegetables. Providing trainings, free seeds, fertilizers, agricultural tools and easy access to market their products can definitely increase the production volume. Despite of this, until poverty is fully eliminated, there will always be some population that will have to go hungry. So, international bodies like World Food Organizations can play a tremendous role in providing food aids to impoverished communities.

To conclude, despite of industrialization in the agriculture sector, many people do not have adequate food. Population growth and poverty are major causes for this issue. Agricultural development should be a prime focus of the developing countries in order to meet the ever-growing future needs.

Writing Feedback / The figures illustrate the roads though which people can reach to the City Hospital in 2007 & 2010 [2]

The two maps below show road access to a city hospital in 2007 and in 2010.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The figures illustrate the roads though which people can reach to the City Hospital in 2007 and the changes that have been made in 2010.

In 2007, City Hospital was enclosed by a Ring Road. From the South of the Hospital, Hospital Road met the City Road, also located on the south. There are several bus stops alongside the Hospital Road. Public and staff parked their cars in the same parking space on the right side of Hospital Road which could be accessed through the Ring Road.

In 2010, a roundabout has been constructed at the intersection of the hospital road and the Ring Road at the entrance to the City Hospital. Another roundabout has also been added at the intersection between city road and the hospital road. The bus stops which were alongside the hospital road have been removed and the two roundabouts have been connected by a bus station instead. Apart from that, public and staff parking area have been distinguished. A separate public parking space has been made just beside the Ring Road, toward East. The public can enter the parking space from the Ring Road.
