Part E_2 Reading

   
Global hunger
How many people are suffering from hunger? According to current estimates, about 690 million people, or 8.9 percent of the global population, are hungry. The World Food Program shows that 135 million people are chronically malnourished as a result of human-caused conflict, climate change, and the economic downturn.

In 2019, 47 million children under the age of five were affected by wasting or acute undernutrition. These conditions make children too thin and weak, and they increase the risk of death as well as poor development and learning capacity.

Immediate action is required to give food and humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable places. Investments in social protection ensure that poor people have access to food and can improve their living conditions. Also, agricultural productivity and long-term food production must be increased in order to help reduce the dangers of hunger.

Part E_3 Reading

I will ask the following questions. Please answer based on the passage. I will check to see if your answers are appropriate.
Part E_4 Reading

Part E_6 Reading

Please read aloud the second passage below.
Part E_7 Reading

   
Food problem in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is a small country with a large population. To feed its rapidly growing population, the country is fighting to maintain and improve its present food output.

Bangladesh_population

Estimates show that Bangladesh will run out of agricultural land by 2080 if the current trend continues. Housing, schools, hospitals, roads, and other infrastructure projects annually result in the loss of around 80 thousand hectares of cultivable land in Bangladesh. This contributes to a decrease in food production.

Furthermore, Bangladesh’s agriculture system is still outdated and unscientific. Bangladesh is dependent on nature for agricultural water. The system is not well developed, and the country suffers from irrigation and water shortages. This forces farmers to rely on unscientific and traditional farming tools and methods.

In Bangladesh, they are required to make consistent progress in terms of food production.

Part E_8 Reading

I will ask the following question. Please answer based on the passage. I will check to see if your answers are appropriate.
