Starvation Problems Caused by Population Explosion

Each year thousands of people worldwide die from malnutrition and starvation. It is estimated that between twenty and twenty-five percent of the world’s population is not receiving an adequate diet (Kendall, 197). African nations such as Somalia, Sudan, and Mozambique have captured the world’s attention with stories of children who are suffering, if not dying from hunger. Most of these countries are unable to produce an adequate food supply for its population. In other areas of the world, however, countries grow such a surplus of food that the government curtails a farmer’s production level (Southwick, 212). In the United State, farmers are paid by the government not to grow food because of the surpluses that already exist (Kendall, 30). This restriction on production occurs even though millions of people in the United States are starving. The world-population explosion is one reason that food shortages in some areas and surpluses in others are becoming serious societal problems.
