Blog post 5: Operation : Population

Everyone has always blamed population for the cause of poverty which is cause of major hunger in other countries including here in the Philippines. Population is also one of many problems a country can have, well not exactly population but overpopulation .

This article was in my last blogpost which the title is "Population and Feeding the world" by Anup Shah in the website "Global Issues" and there is q quotation there and it stated:

"Oftentimes, people make the argument that population increases the lack of food or ability to provide enough food to sustain suck growth. However, for many decades food production has more than kept up with population growth."

Meaning that food production is much more big of a problem that population growth, maybe because population growth only began on the year 2000 i think. (opinion) but the lacking of food is experienced even in the past.

"As Greenpeace has noted, most hungry people live in countries that have food surpluses rather than deficits."

I did not know about this one but some people live in places that have food. meaning they are hungry yet they have food which means they don't use their resources properly. Lastly there is q quotation which stated:

"World hunger is extensive in spite of sufficient global food resources. There increased food production is no solution. The problem is that many people are to poor to buy readily available food. Therefore measures solving the poverty problem is what is required to solve the world hunger problem."

This is correct in more ways than one. Why? It is true that increasing food production will not help people who are poor because first they can't afford the food because they are poor and second even if they manage to buy food they wouldn't be able to feed every human being hre on earth why? because of OVERPOPULATION.
