No, I am not looking for a solution to this problem because I am not capable of solving such a complex problem.

OK, and you don't need to look for solutions for the public, but at least for ourselves as an option to balance the complex problems that are occurring. That means this discussion is only for consideration to see the conditions and percentages of food prices in each country as a comparison.

No individual or group can provide solutions to overcome food problems, only the government has the authority to determine food prices to reduce the burden on society. The percentage of food prices in each country is always different, for example in country A the price of food is sold cheaply, maybe the price of ready-to-eat food is a little cheaper, and vice versa.

Maybe some of us are too spoiled and have become so dependent on the solutions provided by the government, that we forget to look for our own solutions when faced with these problems. What I mean is quite simple, when we are faced with the problem of food scarcity, we can try to grow it ourselves in our yard as a small-scale food supply in the short term. Even though the government has a responsibility to ensure its people, when the people themselves do not try to find a solution then waiting for the government is also not enough.

For example, when Covid-19 occurred and if people could use empty land to grow some of their food needs then they could avoid this problem a little and at least their family's needs would be met. The price percentage will be determined by the amount of supply and when goods become scarcer the price will rise, that is why there is a need for ways that can be used by individuals and the government to reduce prices so that they fall back to normal.

Yes, I have a prediction that the world will experience a food crisis in the next few years. I speculate that this will start in Europe. Maybe I will ask the same thing in the next few years to ask the same thing and how prices have changed or are still stable

The food problem is a fairly sacred condition because it is related to human life and when this sector experiences problems it will have a much more severe impact on inflation and recession. For example, when Covid-19 occurred and food shortages resulted in uncontrolled price increases and this would ultimately affect national economic stability. Because we are in the same country, perhaps the conditions that occurred during Covid-19 can be a reference for how our society can handle it.

The government can still implement a policy of importing food from other countries to overcome food problems. In countries with extensive agricultural levels and supported by abundant harvests, they will export food to other countries. This condition will be mutually beneficial in maintaining the economic stability of farmers and the survival of people in countries experiencing a food crisis.

This is a good policy when food in the country is unstable and experiencing shortages and usually cooperation regarding imports has taken place before the shortage occurs. However, imports and exports often experience problems when the government is not serious about handling them, especially if these two things are done when the price of goods is increasing due to shortages. Government policy can influence food scarcity to become more stable and if the concept is import and export, perhaps the consideration must be carried out carefully and with full consideration, so as not to cause problems in the future when prices return to normal.
