Food Crises killing people

In "Solution for Africa's Food Crises",(2006). The author says, "Millions of Africans are dying each year from extreme malnutrition and the disease that take advantage of their weakness". Many people in many countries face problems with the food crises. There are many families in many countries that do not have enough food to feed their children. While we enjoying Pizza hut, MacDonald and KFC, On the other side there are other people how can not find five pieces of rice. We should to find some ways to make those people to have enough food, and we need to effect of the food crises of the people. There are many solutions to help the hungry people: we should plan to improve soil enrichment; encourage the farmers, and we should activate the GM seeds.
Food crises are situation where the level of the food that does not cover the need of the people who are living in the same area. These problems it is happened for long time. There is no specific date for the beginning of the food crises: There are many events happen in the world about the food crises: spread disease between the plant and that because many people using the green land in different purpose. In "Gambia; Food Crises Monitoring and Prevention Training On the way",(2007). The author says "Medium Term Plan for development in the context of vision 2020' in 2005 indicates that 47 percent of the population lie below the poverty line" so, in this situation Gambia face problem with the high percent of food crises. In " Somalia Two Million Face Crises, Warn Agencies" (2008). "An estimated two million people in Somalia are facing a humanitarian crisis and need urgent aid". In this issue we can see the problems that effect Somalia because of the big decreasing in the food around the world, and how this problems effect humanitarian.
First, to solve the food crises we need to improve soil enrichment. Soil is the important part of growing plant. However, the farmer should make a good condition and they should make sure that soil dose not have any of chemical problems. In Environment: Problems and Solution the author sates "Losing topsoil makes a soil less fertile and less able to hold water. The resulting sediment, the largest source of water pollution, clogs irrigation ditches, boat channels, reservoirs, and lakes. The water becomes cloudy and tastes bad, fish die, and food risk increases" (p.34). That’s mean the government should protect the soil from any environmental problems.
Second, the government should encourage the farmer. As we know the farmer work every day to produce good food for us, and the government should encourage them by availability and good condition to make them work comfortable to produce good feed quality. First, the government should give farmers a high salary to make them have ability to work heartily. For example, when farmers have enough money they can bay equipment, and buy more place to improve the income from agriculture. Second, government should give insurance to farmers. As we know farmers has difficult job and they need insurance to protect them from any problems. For example, many farmers run down or get hurt by machine so they need guarantee that makes them go to the hospital and take medication. If we have many farmers that can make the food crises become decrease.
Third, the government should activate the GM seeds. In this days many countries use the GM seeds as the fast solution to grow their agriculture in the healthy way. However, there are many poor countries that have problems with food crises, and they do not have money to get GM seeds. As a solution first, send GM seeds to poor countries to avoid the food crises problems. For example, poor countries do not have good soil to grow the plants and their will get poorly agriculture. GM seeds can help the farmers to have good quality of food and vegetables. Second, the government should built factories for GM seeds. When the government built factories that can decrease the food crises problems and make the food crises go down in the poor countries. Roskam (2007), wrights "GM food can make up for the vitamin deficiency of the world's malnourished".
Opponents of the idea which is MDCs should give food to LDCs say that we should send food to LDCs because they should find solving for them problems. However, this is untrue because the MDCs should help LDCc because they have more food and the purpose of the help is to decrease the food crises in the world. People now are dying and we should to stop this problem because they are human like as and we should take care for them. For example, there are many people die in Somalia, many people die in tsunami and that because of food crises and they do not have enough food. More over, let help them now and then we should tech them how to live. And we need to give them all material by built college that help them to learn how to agriculture and to grow plant to let them have the benefits from their land. We need to move to help people and send them some food to decrease the effect of the food crises in the poor countries.
In conclusion, we should help or support the people who are face the food crises by following the next idea, improve soil enrichment, encourage the farmers and we should activate the GM seeds. How we can imagine that we can eat a lot of delicious food and many people around the world sleep without any food. We need to think about other people or even try to help them because there are human like us. We would like to live in this world with out any problems but before we enjoy this life we need to think about other people who dreaming every day to sleep without any problems.
