First of all, people should definitely be made aware of wastage and food management, and there should be more investment in agriculture and food production. Also, food shortages are often caused by the inability of products from food production areas to reach consumption areas, it is necessary to improve transportation infrastructure, improve logistics management and most importantly to tackle climate change because climate change is a major threat to agriculture and food production.
The main issue is that there aren't many people investing in agriculture, particularly among young people in my area, who I believe have a very negative mentality toward it. If everyone could start farming, even just a small amount in their backyards, it would help bring down the cost of food in the markets because there aren't many farmers right now and commercial farming requires a lot of money. and to me, farming is not a big deal at all no matter how small.
Maybe they under estimate its potential and to be honest, I rarely heard agriculture when it comes to investment choices but people always talks about real estate, stocks and right now crypto. Crypto is the latest and currently among the hottest investment assets due to how quickly the coin can skyrocket but together with it is the risk.

It's normal that young people won't like investing in agriculture because they think only old people are only involved it but if only they knew how important it is because this is one of the ways that people can get food to eat, then maybe they will change their mind. This post can be an eye-opener to them.
