Food Shortage

[Youngkhngdiddy]

Food shortage is one situation in a nation that causes some consequences. Some countries are liable to food shortages and then they're left with less economic growth which they have to fix. Food and Agriculture has its own impact on the economy of a country and if left unattended to will definitely cause some negativities. There are correction processes that must be followed by countries that experience shortage and the key process should be diverting the focus of that nation to solely agriculture.
  It's not an intentional action that causes shortage, sometimes it's climatic, sometimes it's due to less resources, so in such situations, there has to be alternative ways to generate resources for these nations. The government in turn ensures that they infuse more on planting and harvesting, so even as the food shortage tend to occur, there'll always be residual foods in store that'll go round and be available for the people.

Most other countries experience food shortages when there are bad people or exploitative businessmen who hoard foods that are often the basic needs of consumers.

And the action of the government of each country also does that immediately, and if there really is a shortage in food, they intensify the agriculture program that a government has in a country. They seem to be able to resolve these crises immediately.

Like I replied in your other post, this is a general economy board, so the local board (Nigeria) is the appropriate place to post this since your are speaking from the Nigeria perspective. Incase you feel like posting it on this board, then it is advisable to specify the country, so as to get all audience along with the context.

Back to the post: the whole situation was never like this back then in 2012/13/14/15 and early 2016. This current and previous administration clearly show how poor the administration have been. They clearly lack the capacity to grow and move a nation forward. They think they are doing their best, but i can tell you that their best is never enough.

Exactly, you remembered that they where this certain period of time farmers where scared to work on their farm because of insecurity reasons and that also lead to low food storage.And food stuff became expensive to afford.They just need to encourage the farmers with facilities and good security.

There are some cases, that the greedy of businessmen are the reason why they lead to such situations. They resort to unfair means to create difficulties for farmers, who are then forced to sell their produce at a lower price. The businessmen buy the produce and hoard it for months until the demand goes up, thus earning a higher profit. This creates food shortages and affects people's livelihoods. Unfortunately, this is a common practice in many countries, and it can only be stopped if people take action against these unethical practices.

One must realize that these problems arise if:
- the legislature doesn't work
- the legislature is connected to dishonest businessmen by a corrupt connection

You should also remember that "dishonest businessmen" are your neighbors, friends, acquaintances. It is unacceptable to profit from the citizens of your country, in difficult times! And against such "businessmen" the population should demand pressure measures from the state, and the population should show their reaction - for example, total refusal of products of this "businessman" and his partners who profit from the difficult situation. He will not be able to store food products for a long period of time - it is expensive, plus they spoil - it is a loss.

A food scarcity is not something a nation should experience. This results from farmers and entire sellers choosing to stockpile food for a predetermined amount of time. Price increases are caused by a shortage of products. This impacts people's livelihoods and results in a food shortage. When not enough food is produced—for example, when crops fail because of a drought, pests, or excessive moisture—a shortage of food may result.

In some cases where the farmers and the sellers are not the problem. There are crops and seeds to plant but no one is ready to farm. Not in the case of insecurity or government not giving necessary materials, it is where everyone is looking for white collar job.

Exploitation of nature is also one of the reasons why a country can be short of food, how land that was originally agricultural land turns into skyscraper buildings.

The government must be able to be present in solving this problem, because from what I see, farmers who are at the forefront in fulfilling food security are still many who are not prosperous or live in poverty.

I still see that when they harvest, the price usually plummets, causing farmers to lose money. This, in my opinion, is the task of the government, which must first solve the problems felt by farmers.

food storage occurs when availability of food is not enough to meet up the demands of a populations of a country. there are things that result to food shortage or unavailability of food and those includes,  adverse weather condition, natural disaster, pest, diseases,  inadequate infrastructure for food availability and conflict.  food shortage has so many consequences that leads to famine and as well hunger, lack of nutritious food can affect the  physical and mental condition (health) of an individual, inadequate access to basic food supply can also contribute social violence and suicide and as such  political instability. addressing such situations (food shortage) like this has to do with the collaboration between the government, international organizations to ensure adequate food supply in the country or  Society. it is crucial to adopt strategies that focus on sustainable, equitable development, promoting agricultural innovation, improving infrastructure and improving in education and skills development, as such food shortage can be reduce.

It's not an intentional action that causes shortage, sometimes it's climatic, sometimes it's due to less resources, so in such situations, there has to be alternative ways to generate resources for these nations.

It could be possible to make an intentional action to cause shortage of food in a specific country because of war. But what affected most in the food shortages is really the climate change which natural disasters emerged through that. Since those are natural phenomena is inevitable we should be prepared of it. Though governments has made assessment plans to counter or cater this shortages it may still be not enough for the peoples needs as corrupt politicians will surely have plans as well. 😅

I have another question. I am well aware that some countries are located in areas where conditions are not very conducive to farming. It was so in the past centuries, it was so 50-30 years ago. But today there are a lot of technologies and "living examples" when countries actually have no fertile land, but produce a lot of crops.
There is one more remark, from personal practice, and it is not very pleasant. I used to travel the world often and a lot, and of course I visited Africa. In several countries I had contact with people, businessmen. I asked a question - why do your countries do not attract investments for the development of the agricultural sector, although many African countries have the potential for this, but we constantly hear from them about the shortcomings of food. The answer was very unpleasant - corruption, at the highest levels of government, who live off the help of various international organizations and funds. And it is not profitable for these governments to solve the issue of agriculture, because then huge funds will stop coming in, which can be put "in their pockets". And on the other hand - international organizations, which are also not interested in the "drying up of money flows" for the same reason - corruption and the possibility of enrichment.  The result is a vicious circle, where there is a small group of people who profit from the misery of the population, and a huge number of people who suffer because they create the necessary picture of hunger, and influence the allocation of new and new huge sums of money for PROEDIT, instead of investment and building self-sufficient sectors of the economy.

There are times that it is intentional, and we don't know it like a few years ago that they are doing it so that they can control the price. Last year, we received tons of news about the storage facility holding some goods so that there would be shortages and a high price, and that is when they would sell them off. If the police didn't track it, then for sure prices keep continuing to increase.

Any country with food shortage should make provisions for food for its citizens either by importing or go into a massive agricultural program for the provision of food. This is why it is important for individuals and private organizations to invest in agriculture so that they can provide food for the country. We don't need to wait for the government, because in some countries the government do not care about providing enough food for the people but they are after themselves alone. Government should have their own farms that they can use to feed the nation, so that there will be no food shortage.

Basically, food shortage don't come to an existence in a country or nation unless either by one or two things occur, Is either the farmers and the people are not ready to farm for the consumption of the people or the higher authorities that is the Government or business tycoons over takes the farmers from there main source of harvesting and decide to purchase there foodstuffs at the higher rate or even cheaper so as for them to keep it for some time until the food price rice up that's when they will now bring it out to the market to sell for the people to buy at the higher prices and even a poor man can't do without food they will ever look for any alternative for them to purchase for the consumption of their needs and there family and this "Food shortage" can lead to so many things in a country like Arm robbery, kidnapping, killing of innocent souls . All this will occur as the result of hunger just to satisfied there needs.
