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.
It is due to the low price of buying their crops. This is mostly said by the farmers. When the crop is bought in by the supplier, they buy it cheap and sell it at a high price, and the government can't regulate it. Also, fertilizer is very expensive, which makes the farmer quit. The life of a farmer is very difficult, and most of them tell their children to go to school and find a job and not to continue farming. If this was just supported by the government, there would be a ton of farmers right now.
