Write a debate on population Seven Billion and counting....... Can India feed its people

But the estimate is that we may be able to feed the whole country as our agricultural land are versatile and quite capable of that but lack of education, knowledge, and limiting access to the modern agricultural machinery not only cause a decrease in yield but also cause the post-harvest losses. But these issues can be reduced by spreading the education among farmers. This way our own food may satisfy the large numbers of people in the country,
Other than this, importing food is always remains an option for extra need. In the international level after the green revolution, the issue is not about having food but it's about food security as the accessing to food is the major point here. The scientist has provided enough food for everyone but lack of accessing it is what makes the real problem. Within our country, most time we are using our own food like wheat, rice produced in our own area but the poverty is the reason why not everyone in the country is being fed. This can be solved by stabilizing the economic situation of the country and there is a good chance of it as the rate of our growth increases now.
So we can feed the people in our country just need to take serious steps about it.
Population seven billion and counting...... can India feed its people?
Good morning everyone present here. I am going to express my views on ‘Population seven billion and counting...... can India feed its people?’ And I am going to speak against the motion. Of all the problems ailing the entire mankind, population is the most threatening. Sir David Attenborough has very wisely said: “Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, maybe we should control the population to ensure the survival of our environment.”
Undoubtedly the exponential growth in the world population has posed serious
threats to mankind. According to the UNICEF estimates an average of 353,000
babies are born each day around the world. Owing to the advancement in
standards of living and better medical facilities, the mortality rate is the
lowest. More number of babies means more demand for food, more urbanization,
more industrialization, more consumption of natural resources, more burning of
fossil fuel which means more emission of green house and toxic gases into the
atmosphere.
India is the second largest populated country in the world. If the population keeps growing at the current threatening rate, soon the natural resources will collapse. The indicators of the collapse have begun blinking. The pollution levels in all the cities have reached threatening levels. Just recently, schools and colleges have to be closed down because of the dangerous pollution level. India can’t afford more uncontrolled population growth!
The planet earth has already reached a critical state. It is like an ailing planet. The environment has already been damaged critically. Global warming, world forests disappearing at alarming rate, and invaluable plants and animals going extinct at unrelenting pace have already jeopardized our beautiful planet. There is one cause at the root of all problems—population explosion. If the population is not controlled immediately, especially in the developing countries, the world is bound to face environmental catastrophe. There may come a day when the natural life-supporting system might fail owing to undue burden of human population on them.
I appeal the Government and the people to join hands to tackle the menace of uncontrolled population explosion before it is too late!
