Answer:

Food is the basic requirement for all human beings all over the world. The pattern of food is being changed from ancient times to now. Technology to produce food as increased but still food deficit is seen all around the world. 30% of the total world population are facing malnutrition diseases like kwashiorkor and marasmus. Why is this happening in the world? Even though the technology is improved so much .

The answer for food deficit is decreasing of the green belt all around the world to convert into buildings and commercial spaces. Framing occupation is not encouraged like the other professions around the world . Framers suffer loss due to natural calamities and this makes people move away from the profession of farming. This causes increase in the cost for the food due to decreased production, which causes the food not reachable to the below poverty line.

Harm to natural calamities by human activities causes the ground to be depleted and produce less yield. With increasing population and decrease in production leads to food deficit. Lack of knowledge of the farmers on effective way of farming is also the reason of food deficit.
