Move Towards Zero Hunger

Abstract

The habitable world is gradually losing social integrity, and as a result an existence of huge gap between rich and poor has brought brain storming impact to resolve such problem in an amicable way under the provision of minimum budget. Some parts of global geographic locations, rich in modern agriculture technologies, are in dilemma to store the overproduced food grains, and even seasonal fruits and vegetable, and are forced to destroy the overproduced agricultural products under the constraint of poor logistic system, food warehouses and management of micro-economy system (Fig. 1.1). On the other side, millions of people in extreme rural captured area are leading stressful life with hunger and poverty (Fig. 1.2). The hunger is on rise. The absolute number of undernourished people, i.e. facing chronic food deprivation, has increased to nearly 821 million in 2017, from around 804 million in 2016 (Table 1.1).
