Topic: How we survive food shortages - page 3. (Read 1693 times)

Many objective factors have already been pointed out here that ultimately lead to food shortages throughout the world. Of course, overpopulation of the planet is also one of these factors. They predict that in the future the problem of food shortages will only worsen. Technological progress saves humanity, but it also destroys it. Thanks to the development of technology, it became possible to process large areas more quickly, but at the same time, people began to quickly change nature to suit their interests, and this has a detrimental effect on nature itself.
The solution may be to create artificial food, which will differ little from natural food. There is a lot of talk about this in the science fiction genre, but at the same time such artificial food, synthesized from non-food products, may well become a reality.

Try to be more specific about why crypto-related information has a relationship with clothing, food, and housing and extreme climates? It's a bit hard for us to digest unless this crypto information is focused on making money. But not everything is easy and includes every information that can generate profits. This is difficult to correlate, for me what makes more sense when addressing social inequality in society is to pay attention to reforestation, implementing government programs such as the movement to plant 1000 trees, providing clean water sources and prioritizing the expansion of agricultural land for basic needs. commodities and increased consumption of local products so that the economy in the immediate environment continues to rotate. Creating microeconomic space and every opportunity can mutually benefit each other.

Seriously, there has been a big push towards technology and away from traditional agriculture. It seems we have forgotten that food is essential for our survival and that technology alone can not solve all of our problems. I think we should focus on agritech in that case so that we can combines agriculture and technology. Agritech is the use of things like drones, sensors, and artificial intelligence to improve efficiency and sustainability in farming.

However, individuals alone can not achieve this but government policy can have a huge impact on the way agriculture is practiced and it can be a really powerful tool for supporting farmers and local economies. Governments can play a really important role in supporting local agriculture through things like subsidies, tax breaks, and infrastructure investments. Some countries have programs that offer grants to farmers who adopt more sustainable practices like using less water or reducing the use of pesticides.


I think the issue of population growth is among the factors that contribute to this shortage of food across the globe. the world's population is growing rapidly, and there's increasing pressure on food systems to keep up.You're actually right and that's why I said that it's not an individual task alone. Government must step up into the matter. The good thing is that, government are not sleeping over the issue because in my country, the government has established a number of programs that provide subsidies for farmers as well as funding for research and development.

Food shortages are a serious problem that must be resolved immediately by the government, climate change is one of the causes of Penen failure, drought or floods that hit can cause the entire agricultural area to have a negative impact. Farmers need support to overcome climate changes that often occur in a region. Irrigation channels must be built so that water supply runs smoothly, the government also needs to build dams to accommodate water reserves in anticipation of the dry season.
The role of the government is very helpful in increasing food productivity, farmers must be embraced by the government, your cooperation between the government and farmers will produce abundant harvests. The government also needs to eradicate the food mafia which often manipulates market prices. Prosperity in a region will be perfect if the government intervenes to help overcome all problems that can hamper the economic cycle in its region.

Some areas of the world are food insecure, while others have an abundance of food. Food insecurity is when food demand is over seeding, when food production is less and food demand is too much. The Food Security Information Network, in support of the global network against the food crisis, recently released a global report on the food crisis (GRFC) 2023. Data for 2022 shows food insecurity levels far higher than pre-pandemic levels in 2019. The global economy was slowing down; lockdowns, the economic downturn, joblessness and reduced income, the Ukraine war, etc. are the major key drivers of food insecurity. It's not about having food; it's about having good, nutritious food that's sound food. The solutions to this problem are that international organizations, governments, and civil societies should take a big step on this matter and together try to achieve the zero hunger goal mentioned in the Sustainable Development Goal.

I presume the number of people neglecting organic food production has drastically increased over the years, people tend to focus more on tech and have forgotten that food is a necessity for humanity to exist. If everybody gets into tech and abandon agriculture, the golden question will be, 'what will humanity feed on'?

Irrespective of our technological engagements, we should consider agriculture as everyone's responsibility and also channel loads of resources and fundings to it since it is the only way to support locals to get into commercial agriculture.

In fact, it is possible if we have land or free time, but I think it will not be effective because the current problem is food shortages due to climate change, resulting in production results not being optimal.
Almost every country feels this, causing food to become expensive.
Here the role of the government is very big in being able to make policies regarding reducing food prices and also looking for ways for agricultural affairs to prevent or minimize bad things so that the agricultural sector can return to maximum production and harvest.

Reducing greenhouse gases is one thing, but I don't think that global warming will be reduced in the future because of this industrial age. Developed countries are making more industrial zones, and the price is being paid by third-world countries. Global carbon emission is continuously increasing, and the predictions are that it will increase further in the coming years.


Efforts should be made to cut down the global carbon emissions and incentivize reforestation. Research should be done to make genetically modified plants which can survive and give maximum production in future temperature changes. People suffering from food insecurity have increased from 135 million in 2019 to 345 million in 2022; a surge of over 1.5% was observed in 3 years, according to the World Bank. You can consult the following article for an in-depth knowledge.

(https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2022/10/17/what-you-need-to-know-about-food-security-and-climate-change#:~:text=How%20might%20climate%20change%20affect,water%20for%20crops%20to%20thrive.)

Deforestation is on the rise and will significantly affect the global temperature and rainfall. This will result in food and water shortages. For food shortage, I think everyone should go for kitchen gardening, and governments should spread the word about its importance. Food preservation techniques should be improved and accessible to third-world countries.

If there's enough support from the government then there will be more encouraged young people that shall engage in farming just as the others and continue the legacy of their parents. In case in our country, many flees the farm lands because of lack of support and the profit that they're making isn't that much. Imagine that you've been planting for a long time and then during the harvest time, the middlemen, the businessmen that buys your agricultural products are haggling for a lower price for those products you've harvested. It should be stopped, this is at least in the case of many farmers here in my country.

One of the major reasons why the climate has been affected drastically is because of illegal crude refining and that’s one air pollutant and there are also several environmental pollutants and all these things also affect the growth and yield of crops and that is one role cryptocurrency will help to combat as I think the oil sector is been over exploited and is already over hyped and this is also why cryptocurrency need to be preached and embraced so as to divert the attention of the youth to the cryptocurrency industry and also reduce environmental hazard.

lol
Most of us don’t really have to worry about food has really got me cracked up and this talk is really funny and also very realistic because not everyone actually worries about food because they believe they can afford to buy all the food they desire .

As long as the war continues in the world, its food shortage will continue to increase. And in this shortage, the price of goods will increase and people will spend their lives in unbearable suffering. It is almost impossible to get any way of escape from the position, on the other hand due to the weather and climate the environment is destroyed and it is also a fatal damage to the crops. As a result of climate change, people are not able to determine when a flood will occur, thus affecting crop production. The price of goods is increasing due to inflation. In this case those who have invested in the crypto space will be able to hold the value of their currency and they will be free from inflation.

You're right, the world today is experiencing a major shortage or food crisis and the government has a big impact on overcoming this economic problem. The government should have an agricultural program for our farmers, helping them by giving funds and stocks that may be used in farming can prevent food shortages. Also, farm worker's salary rate should increase given that they are the one who provides us a good quality food. Good collaboration between the government and Farmers will possibly overcome this economic issue that we are facing.

It cannot be denied that the government plays a very big role in overcoming problems like this. I think this is a little difficult because the main problem is that it can no longer be as effective as before because the influence of the situation is not a decline in farmer performance so that farmers do not have a solution so the government is encouraged to find a solution and invite farmers. to work together to increase the productivity of food shortages like today.

Middlemen who often pay low wages for harvests should be ignored and avoided because they are also the people who destroy market prices by buying any harvest at a very low price and then selling it at a higher price to other agents. This will certainly greatly influence young people's interest in farming more seriously because they are immediately attacked by low prices through people who like to collect the harvest from farmers directly.

So agricultural productivity may continue to decline and cause the interest of today's young people to choose to work in offices even with salaries that have been measured by their respective governments. So the root of the problem of middlemen must be immediately eradicated by the government so that today's young people can once again have the intention to continue their farming even though they are also quite happy working in offices with a guaranteed salary every month.

If we look at a lot of shows on television and social media, there are lots of people who have an abundance of food and a lot of food that ends up being wasted because it's leftovers or because it's no longer fit to be eaten.
One of the things that can lead to food shortages is that there is no distribution of food throughout the world.
Many countries, especially rich ones, will still have an abundant food supply, but in other parts of the world, especially poor countries, many citizens find it difficult to get food because they cannot afford to buy it and also the failure of the state to provide it to its citizens, so food shortages is not only due to climate change and so on but also because of unequal distribution, unfortunately, this will be difficult to find a solution because countries that do not have sufficient budgets to buy food will continue to be in this situation, even though the harvest is still there even though the yield is reduced but they are unable to import and cannot plant because of the drought and the inability to have technology to make farming easier and still productive, So it's not just a matter of climate change, land or machinery, but there are other things that sometimes escape attention.

Most of us don't really have to worry about food shortage op despite all the glaring issues that you mentioned, but this will definitely become a major issue for future generations down the line for obvious reasons.

One way to decrease this issue to some extent is by reducing global warming through proven strategies since they are linked to each other.

I don't think the two of them will be able to directly matching and collaborate to help minimize the roots of the problems currently being faced, food shortages and climate change, which are very global challenges and problems at the moment and in my opinion these problems are very complex and have a very big impact. Many aspects even though it is considered an idea. which is innovative.

It is necessary to immediately carry out efforts that are deemed capable of minimizing this, for example by looking for plant varieties that are more resistant to changing climatic conditions and providing them to farmers. Well, in this case the government has a strong role in advocating for policies that encourage sustainable agriculture so that implementation can run well and there will be no more busy work if at any time the intensity increases.

Yeah, it's a very big issue nowadays but this is just because of disorder in the system. The world is divided into two categories one is the industrial state and the other is the agricultural state. The industrial state did its best and knew its specialty but the agricultural one shifted to the industrial state in which they had no experience in the industries, Also the industries disturbed the climate and as a result, agricultural products are produced less because of climate change. The possible solution to this is to remove the industries from the respected countries. In the international system no country has self-sufficiency they tend to trade with each other and rely on each other and this how the system work. This is my view on this be you guys do not agree with me I give my answer what I understand from the question.

This is a common thing, where many young people want to become office workers rather than farming. However, young people must be encouraged to farm conservatively, which can increase production and sell directly to consumers, that way they will earn more income, especially now that there are lots of social media that can be used for marketing. What often happens is that middlemen pay low wages for the harvest, so that farmers' welfare is very minimal

food shortage has never been a concern in country outside the warring region i assume, the productivity of agriculture using modern technology has significantly increased the production over the course of the year that it make basic ingredient for food affordable meanwhile also raising the quality.
its the perk of having and utilizing advanced technology for various field, it strengthen the field, even more so prominently in agricultural sector, thats why investment in technology is such essential thing for many countries around the world.
but for those that really have food shortage, there's no other way than hoarding the food, after all thats the only way obtaining food because frankly speaking you can't really cut your daily consumption and still having healthy bodies.
