It reminds me of a certain report about countries in Africa that are experiencing food shortages, it is clear that in order to make the current progress, it is first necessary to ensure adequate food supply, and there are many leading reasons why they cannot manage on their own and need more outside help. Even in the current context when the issue of inflation and commodity prices increase, the fact that agriculture provides our main food is always a factor that is considered very important in many historical or future periods. And I understand the story of countries taking this seriously so that it doesn't lead to the same undesirable things as in the past about hunger.
Being rich in agriculture products eliminates your dependency on other countries. You are rich in food then you can survive recession since you have enough to feed your country. These days developed countries are focusing more on technology related products that gives more profit and requires less effort. That's not the case with agriculture, since you have to work harder to get profit. China for instance import rice from India to save his water reserves.
I understand the position of each different country makes them have benefits that can be labeled with what they want, as in the case you mentioned buying Chinese rice with India, this is completely yes, but in what I'm talking about poor countries, the story doesn't have the potential to grow in a fair way relative to the overall global level of development. They need a lot of factors to help them get out of the food shortage before they can have the health to learn, just like in some other parts of the world that I've heard have very high agricultural output as large as Southeast Asia, they were also colonized countries in the past, and agriculture is the main area that helps them to progress gradually and to keep up with the pace of change in society.
Everyone doesn't grow at the same rate or in the same way. Some nations face more challenges than others due of their geographical positioning, historical experiences, or limited resources. It's like a marathon where some folks start way back in the pack. No matter how fast they try to catch up, they never seem to be able to. Let's not give up hope, though. You're right that agriculture is crucial; some communities even managed to put it to good use during terrible times. Even though agriculture isn't a silver bullet, it plays a critical role. Education, infrastructure, and health care all require increased funding. It's a long way to go, and all nations should pitch in to support these places. A lot of people and organisations are trying to change that. Let's keep talking about this. Improving conditions begins with raising awareness
