It's sad to see what used to be an exporting country and now an importing country, agricultural land is getting narrower coupled with human resources who are less enthusiastic about farming, especially for young people, because they think farming is not a cool job. therefore, with the development of technology, in terms of production, the government should encourage agricultural technology that can increase production even though agricultural land is decreasing. or in my country where large areas can open up land for the development of agricultural areas
Some people still only consider their prestige in life so they don't want to work on existing agricultural land and there are even some people who are willing to sell agricultural land to buy other buildings that they don't use to make any production. That is why several exporting countries have previously become importing countries at this point and I am not at all surprised by this because now most people prefer to work in a relaxed manner without wanting to work harder due to the prestige being considered.
Yes, this is what happened in my country Indonesia. I am the son of a farmer. And being a farmer is very hard, having to work under the scorching heat every day is tough, and it's impossible for today's youth to be like that. Not to mention when the harvest price of rice immediately fell. Oh shit!! Farmers are really national heroes but there is no appreciation in my country.
It seems that regeneration has been wrongly taught since the beginning of school. like in school teachers motivate their students more so that one day they can get a decent job like in an elite office or pursue their goals, actually there's nothing wrong either. It's just that it's very unfortunate that in an agricultural country with fertile soil, teachers ignore the importance of knowledge about agriculture, so that makes them not interested in becoming people who are aware of the future of food in Indonesia. yes, hopefully there is an elegant solution that can solve problems like this in every country so that agriculture is indeed the future of all mankind.
