Title: Food security might not be a priority for younger generations.
Post by: 0t3p0t on February 10, 2024, 11:38:16 AM
There is a huge possibility of younger or new generations adopting cryptocurrency investments compared to them getting interests on farming and food related sectors. What do you think? Does it have a good or bad effects on our economy?

Perhaps not many people are interested in the agricultural sector. It is very preoccupying, as there will be a negative impact in a short period of time.

It's a very cohesive team so we will pay more attention to the company. In my opinion, the big interest in agricultural companies is because many use traditional methods, which in turn means that not many people want to work for them.

We are constantly innovating to achieve more, and in the end, not a few are also using modern methods. Therefore, the government, in this case, should actively pay greater attention to companies.

Yeah, I think for a country like mine our government must focus on modernizing farming methods and machineries to have a much better result in the food sector. Since we are in a region that is frequently harassed by natural disasters this should be taken into consideration. Spending more funds and research on this sector will surely makes any sense for the country.

Inevitably, this must be done considering the many obstacles that exist in the field. Maybe like pests that will damage plants can be controlled by materials that are now available, such as pesticides. But of course, excessive use of pesticides is not good.

Natural disasters never know when they will occur, causing crop failure and so on. Especially now that erratic weather is also very influential on crop yields. Thorough research must be done to be able to make a successful harvest, one of which can apply a modern agricultural system.

Even before crypto became popular, the younger generations have been moving away from agriculture. The shift started when farmers sent their children to school in order to have better lives (not to be farmers like them). Many of the generations then followed that and going into an office in a suit or a formal attire became the trend. With the rise cryptocurrencies and the online world, the trend has shifted towards skills (if you ever call it that) that requires no formal education such as streaming and making online videos.

I think the agriculture sector will continue to struggle attracting interest from future generations but there will be enough to sustain an economy.

I don't see a problem with that. If we go back in time we see that societies were largely agrarian, with the majority of the population working in the fields. As agriculture developed, fewer and fewer people were needed and they became occupied with other things. And today, with intensive and mechanised agriculture, even fewer, which may not be the most suitable from an ecological and nutritional point of view, but has made it possible for almost 8 billion people to live on the land in a historical period when hunger has almost disappeared from most of the earth.

So fine, the new generations can do whatever they want, as long as people are well fed.

Technology has taken over the world, and this has modernized agriculture, where farm machineries are used to make farm work fast and easy, making agriculture not needing so much people to be involved in its activities. Youths are growing up to meet new advanced technology, and they are the ones to keep on the good work. Farming will still be done in interior places where they will not have access to technology, and the youths there will farm, but they will be few.

Yes I totally agreed with you, food security will not be a concern for our younger generation. Given the path our nation is going at the moment, I believe that securing a reliable source of income will be helpful and may even become their top priority at that point. Investing in cryptocurrencies for their future use will be particularly helpful as you will have done a great deal to make sure that they will never experience poverty. Therefore, rather than securing food for our younger generation, we should secure a reliable source of income for them.

There is a very high possibility that it's already happening. Many choose to invest in crypto currency now rather than going into the stock market. In the agriculture sector, crypto gives them easy profit, no stress, and no waiting time if they invest in the right coins, although there are pros and cons.
 
On the aspect of the impact on the economy in a small country where most of their investment is being channelled off the agric sector, there will definitely be a scarcity of food, which will result in food stuff being very expensive as the little that will be produced based on the few resources at hand won't be enough to cover the entire country, which means they will have to focus on exports in order to feed, and when there is a high rate of exportation of consumable goods, the price is definitely not going to be on the good side.

What's good about our world is that it is adaptive and has a system of balances. If everyone becomes a crypto-investor - as you realize - you can't feed your family with bitcoins :) If (model an extremely critical model) 99% of the population will be cryptoinvestors, then 1% will own their wallets and lives because they will produce a very limited amount of food and will be monopolists of a critical resource.
So I wouldn't build such a scary model.
Yes I am well aware of the degradation of classical rural labor, but they are being replaced by farms. That's progress too - there's no escaping it. But farms and agroholdings are what feeds humanity. So I assume that the risk you describe is unlikely.

PS but there is always an alternative - to invest in agriculture ! I, for example, invest cryptocurrencies in a great agro-project, if you are interested - write me, I'll introduce you to it :)

It will have a negative impact in our economy, when oil was not in existence agriculture was the source of income for many nations, though we are in the digital era which I believe that many people are interested in digitization and it's potentials, but I have to tell us that if the younger generation diverse their attention from Agriculture it will be a disaster in terms of food security and scarcity because with the little I know, I believe that digital asset is just for making profits or may using your profit in purchasing whatever you want, but in real sense it is not food, humans be it young or old should take agriculture as a priority not only for the benefit of the economy but also for individual consumption.

Isn't it like we need a balance in terms of these priorities? When priorities are in focus about crypto alone or other things other than agriculture given that numbers of farmers declined compared to previous years and then in todays generations lost the interest needed to have a sufficient food supply, aren't we having this shortage in the future? I know that technologies are advancing but interests in the food sector will also possibly decline due to the fact that newer generations are having this good profits in crypto compared to farming. Are we coming into the future wherein we will consume more processed foods than having the fresh and healthy foods we have right now?

Agricultural lands are now shrinking no doubt about that due to expansion of real estate and any other establishments being built but I know it not that alarming right now though I don't know if time will come something unexpected will happen. Are we that ready for that?

Where is that happening? In your country? What is happening in the world is that there is more and more food available and that is not exactly because of a lack of land. Countries where 40 years ago people were starving have an obesity problem today. I agree with DrBeer:

Well, this is quiet interesting but yeah I'll think of it and oh as of the moment I do not have extra money to invest yet and for the crypto thing I prefer to hodl my small portions of Bitcoin holdings for future purposes.

Yeah happening here in my country in a while now I can see mining and real estate firms destroying agricultural lands. More food is available for countries that does not experience natural disasters every single year but for us who welcomes more or less 20 typhoons a year, in addition to that flood and drought should also be taken into consideration as it maximize the damage it caused including high prices of goods.

Of course, I'm not calling for you to drop everything and invest in the project I mentioned. Unfortunately, we don't print money, and more often we choose a more stable and safe option. I will also convert not all of my funds into cryptocurrency or something similar. It is always necessary to have an "emergency reserve" of money in national currency, in freely convertible currency, and the option of just "cold" storage of cryptocurrency is not a bad option either. But do not forget about diversification :)

I can't recall where I have heard this but it goes something like this. Strong men bring good times, good time brings weak men, weak men bring hard times, and hard time brings strong men. And the cycle continues. I think cryptocurrency is a "good time" which will bring weak men. The youth ignoring farming or agriculture will bring hard times. Food is the only thing that is needed no matter what, to survive.

Ignoring this will obviously bring hard times. We need to focus on this more. Otherwise, it is hard to tell what kind of difficulties we will have to face in the future. It will be a future where we may have to start all from the beginning.

Yeah sad to say that what had happened to earth thousands or even millions of years ago will I think repeat itself. Well, my purpose of bringing this topic here is because I have witnessed younger generations does not have this interests in farming or agriculture that will give us sufficiency when it comes to food sector but their attention is more diverted to technology, social media, and any other nonsense things that won't help themselves and the economy as we can see that most of them are into smoking and alcoholic drinks. Since crypto is booming most especially in times of bull run I know these youngsters will surely jump-in aside from being curious but because of the possibility to earn money and if they're doing good with crypto they begin to forget the existence of farming and agriculture as a whole.

There's a nuance here. The younger generation - yes, I agree, is more adherent to the concept of a technological world. But, uh. They don't stop eating! :) And of course they PAY for food, and pay as much as the seller says ! And this is in fact a direct investment in agriculture, i.e. future foodstuffs. Consumption of food is an investment in the agricultural sector. If the world gave up food, then yes, agribusiness would be in a difficult situation. But let me tell you - the last thing people will stop buying will be food. In a critical situation, people will sell or exchange everything they have - gold, cryptocurrencies, apartments, cars, .... - for food. because food is a vital process. So all of us who consume food directly or indirectly support the agribusiness sector

Good point right there. It is now clear to me that whatever young people are doing right now they still contribute to the food sector regardless of interests and courses. As I can see students here in my place moving instead of agriculture courses or agribusiness they were switching to IT related courses, nautical, criminology, and Education courses. That is why I am a bit worried about the food security here in my country.

Well this is where I disagree. People will continue to consume food but if you forget how to grow them, then there will be no food. Contributing to agribusiness and knowing how to do farming are two different things. They are more into technology but that's good in a way. Because with advanced technology they will be able to find solutions in agriculture. But in order to find a solution, you need a problem first. "Necessity is the mother of invention" right? But that one problem will have a devastating effect on everyone.

We need balance in everything in order to coexist. If more people lean towards only technology, then the hard times will come for sure. Climate change is a thing. You see people grow some food these days, but in the future, you may not be able to grow them in the same place. Because of weather change. changes in the soil. These days the young generation does not want to get in the mud. If you don't know how the mud feels, how can you grow food in that mud?

Yeah and this makes me worried about the lack of interests in this young generations as they prioritize other things rather than playing mud for food. I agree that most of them don't bother trying how mud feels with their hands they just wanted the finished product out of that mud. Numbers of farmers are declining so fast year after year so how can we be having a sufficient source of food if none of these young generation will have the willingness to contribute food security, right?

Though here in my country offers free tuition fee for agricultural courses but the problem is that after they got the degree it ends there because they are applying for BPO which is good paying job but unrelated to food security or even work abroad to get a better salary so it is still a problem here.

On the one hand, you are right. On the other hand, there are rules and laws of the market. if more goes into technology, the fewer products will be produced, the more expensive they will become, the more attractive they will be for investment or building a business in this segment. A critical scenario regarding the food segment would arise if the demand (consumption) of food products decreased, and this is guaranteed not to happen. Moreover - due to the growth of the world's population - demand will only grow. In a word, I don’t see any problems here, because... a profitable place will never be empty

We also can't blame them either. The global population is rising (recently it is stable or a bit low according to some source). But the world already have so many people that the competition is really high. And the price of each and every product is sky high. If you don't have a decent job or decent income, you can't put food on the table three times a day. That's why the young generation is trying to find a shortcut and something that won't require much effort and will give them more money. They are not wrong for ignoring the agricultural system and leaning toward technological system. Because the future depends on it.
But they don't realize that we can live without technology if we try but we cannot live without food. I guess this have more to do with social media and influencers. Imagine a guy who have never seen any kind of technological advancement and usage of the internet. His sole purpose of living would be survival and food.
My point is, the reset will happen at some point and we will have to learn everything from the start. Or maybe we can come up with something new which will solve the problem.
Automatic machineries and advanced soil manipulation could easily solve the problem but we need sustainable energy source and large amount of land..,.
Maybe I am speculating a bit much here but it is possible. Every coin has two sides. We would either see a total reset or advancement that will lead to successful future.

Food security is a very serious issue more serious than most people understand especially the younger generation because no one really pays attention to food security and even when the government tries to play their part by offering free training and education and distributing farming equipments most people see it as an opportunity to sell those items and get money rather than using them efficiently totally ignoring the fact that every living thing need food to survive most especially we humans but most people prefer the easy way when what they really need to pay most of their attention to is agriculture which has many sectors but the farming sector is simpler to handle and manage and just allowing nature do its own thing ,when they do that they'll realise that food is the basic and most important thing in life that they spend almost all the salary that they have worked our for, why not work and farm? If you farm and harvest you can use all for Your own consumption or you can store up enough for your consumption and sell the rest also generating additional income.food security is not a priority but is should be.

Good explaination very detailed. This is exactly what is happening right now and governments should take pre-emptive measures to prevent food shortages that might possibly happen in the future with the help of our local farmers.

Though here in my country offers free tuition fee for agricultural courses but the problem is that after they got the degree it ends there because they are applying for BPO which is good paying job but unrelated to food security or even work abroad to get a better salary so it is still a problem here.
We also can't blame them either. The global population is rising (recently it is stable or a bit low according to some source). But the world already have so many people that the competition is really high. And the price of each and every product is sky high. If you don't have a decent job or decent income, you can't put food on the table three times a day. That's why the young generation is trying to find a shortcut and something that won't require much effort and will give them more money. They are not wrong for ignoring the agricultural system and leaning toward technological system. Because the future depends on it.
But they don't realize that we can live without technology if we try but we cannot live without food. I guess this have more to do with social media and influencers. Imagine a guy who have never seen any kind of technological advancement and usage of the internet. His sole purpose of living would be survival and food.
My point is, the reset will happen at some point and we will have to learn everything from the start. Or maybe we can come up with something new which will solve the problem.
Automatic machineries and advanced soil manipulation could easily solve the problem but we need sustainable energy source and large amount of land..,.
Maybe I am speculating a bit much here but it is possible. Every coin has two sides. We would either see a total reset or advancement that will lead to successful future.
Lands are not a problem if the government will only support the farmers. It would be helpful if the government could provide cheap land to farmers, as it would make their lives easier. Currently, many farmers have to pay a lot for the land they use to farm. The farmers also earn the least profit from their harvest as businessmen purchase their crops at a cheaper price. Additionally, some businessmen offer to buy the land of farmers, then they will sell it to other farmers at a higher price or lease it to them making their life more difficult. This practice makes it difficult for local farmers to continue their livelihood.

As you can see the status of farming here in our country majority of provinces still uses the traditional way of cultivating the land and crops. We still need to modernize machineries and techniques so harvest will be sufficient for us given that we were visited by typhoons more or less 20 times a year. Some agricultural lands were also transformed into a commercial or residential lands so I can say that the yield is really shrinking.

There is a huge possibility of younger or new generations adopting cryptocurrency investments compared to them getting interests on farming and food related sectors. What do you think? Does it have a good or bad effects on our economy?

Most people now are dealing with crypto currencies, because of the digital world we are heading into, but I don't think it is everybody, some people do not believe in crypto, because of the crypto online scams going on.
Farming is a sector that boosts the economy so there are people in that sector too...

The current events speak itself most especially Bitcoin ETF that may possibly influence younger generations to divert their interest. We all know that most of us the reason behind being here in this industry is to explore opportunities and make profit then the majority of us treat cryptocurrency as an investment rather than treat agriculture as a main source of income and investment.

I have a small piece of agricultural land but I am not the one who got interest in cultivating it but my old neighborhood farmer. Right now, I can't see here in my place young people getting into mud for this purpose rather they are now into NFT games and iirc I see them practice trading as well.

Due to advance technology in this era food security  will not be an issue, because they are several tech concerning farming and new innovation of farming system to mitigate food scarcity, security of food will be thing of a past. In this technology driven age food security is sure for the younger generation.
