Many people believe that farming is their future success. I live in a city which of course is very difficult to get land for farming, I use pots to grow some vegetables, chilies, and others, the more difficult the agricultural land, of course, makes the price of agricultural commodities more expensive so that a country that still has a lot of agricultural land will become a country that prosperous.
Do you know what the driving force of a city is? Its villages are where farmers grow crops. The city is for administration and industrial purposes while the countryside is to feed the city. Both are equality important so if a country doesn't have enough land to grow crops then they need to import them from outside. This makes a country week to others. Only agriculral based countries can't do infrastructural development because they can not generate enough revenue for the farmers and the government. So there should be a balance between them.
