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.

Natural calamities is one of the most common reason why there is food shortages and of course increase of prices not to mention wars as it is man made. Regardless of efforts made by governments and it's people if nature has to charge us our stupidity we can do nothing about it but accept the consequences.

I agree with you, but I will make an addition, or clarification. If we take one particular country, it is difficult to give an example of a country where there are natural disasters and war all the time.
But I know many countries that have been suffering from food shortages for decades. But I have already written about the reasons in my previous post. I am sure in most countries that regularly have problems with food the situation is identical. And the problem there is not natural disasters and wars.....
PS For example, my country Ukraine. In 2022 it was massively invaded by terrorist troops from a neighboring country. Some of the most fertile regions were occupied - southern, eastern regions, fields were burned, grain elevators were destroyed, agro-companies were destroyed, huge territories including fertile fields were mined. Have you heard of Ukraine asking for food for 2 years? No! Ukrainians created agribusinesses in other areas far from the war. They found money, strength, equipment, and recreated. At least in the state when we have 25% of our territory occupied and there is a war, Ukraine provides food for itself.
I have quite a strong opinion that other countries simply don't want/are not profitable to solve this issue in this way. See my previous post for reasons.

Yes, without us realizing it, we (humans) are the cause of everything that happens on earth, including food shortages.
We are the ones who make everything a mess and we are also the ones who complain, strange isn't it? but this is real.
The fact is that now war is everywhere, greedy people who only care about themselves are also everywhere.
And also one more thing, sometimes farmers are underestimated, even though they are the farmers who supply food for us, and now I see farmers whose lives are not yet prosperous. Is this fair? of course not.
I don't want to judge, but it's better for us to introspect ourselves.

You make a very subtle point, something I've been saying for a long time - the problem with humanity...is PEOPLE !
The laws of nature, from the simplest to the laws of the universe, are balanced and built on clear laws and rules (I will make a note - which we do not all understand). And only man, thinking himself the "crown of creation" - violates the laws, destroys everything around him ... Therefore, the first question when the dialog about problems begins - what have I, we, or mankind done to prevent or correct this? In most answers, "guilty" will be called anything but ourselves or humanity in general....

Like you already mentioned it, food shortage can mostly arise due to bad climate which cuses a low productivity in the amount of agricultural produces of a country and when the climate change is very bad and remain bad for a very long time, that's how it will keep contributing to a poor yield of farm produce and therefore will cause food shortage. When population is high and there is low productivity in food production, it can cause shortage of food.
-
Omor, food shortage is not what a country or individual should experience as a person, so many factors are contributing to this shortage of food and high cost of foods items available in the market, for instance in some of various communities where our parents farm some hecter of land to get what to eat while they are on it and it Good to harvest, some people who are hungry and don't have any means to eat we go to a farm that are not there's to steal unprocess items to there houses and keep just to survive, some beg also to eat a day, ,if this shortage of food continues in a country and the government doesn't do anything about it so many things we go wrong.

What is even stranger is that we ourselves make the rules, but we also break them, so rules are made to be broken, not a joke anymore, but this has become a reality that happens everywhere.
I know there are many activists who speak out about the importance of protecting nature, but what percentage of people are aware of that? I think it's only a few people out of all the humans on this earth.
I am not speaking for others, but for myself, because I also realize that I am one of the people who contribute to the current problems.

You have pointed out a very important thing - you have to talk about yourself, your problems, goals, actions or inactions. Giving advice and telling others how to live is the easiest way to avoid personal responsibility.
And this also applies to problems of a more global scale - each of us can influence the situation around us, charge with ideas, demand from the government elected by him or her certain steps (this is a legal right). Similarly with food problems - there is a problem - so it's an opportunity for you not only to partially improve it, but also to gain business and income. Yes, it sounds a bit cynical, but it is better to create business, jobs, and earn money by solving a problem than by doing nothing.

I totally agreed with you, food shortage is one of the major problems we have in our society today and because of lack of food, our younger ones have turn to beggers, some thieves etc but even if it's cause by climate, we also need tools from the government to support our selves because not everyone has the money to purchase any tools . Do you also know we need to eat before working for another one.

In my opinion, food shortage is one problem that a nation can experience due to some few reason. Other members have said some reason but what I want to add is that if a nation only depends on importation of food stocks from other countries, there might be time when they can experience food shortage and such time may come if the country that is supplying them with food faces any problem in their own country which causes a reduction in their production of food and agricultural foods stocks.
For example, if Cameron depends wholly on Nigeria for supply of imported foods, and during 2023 Nigeria failed to produce enough food for exportation because of poor soil minerals, that means that Cameron can face food shortage in 2024 if they are not able to find another country that can supply them with food.

You gave a good example! Let's discuss it ? There are several questions in this situation:
1. Where did this dependence come from ?
2. Why can't this country produce products that make it dependent on imports ?

When population is high and there is low productivity in food production, it can cause shortage of food.
That's not the only factor, although I have to admit that what you say is a crucial factor in the agricultural cycle that must be carried out. No one can avoid a climate that suddenly changes a situation that has been well planned but disappears in an instant. But a factor that is no less important is that the available land is becoming less and less available. Technological development has only been carried out by a few developed countries, but there are still more of those that rely on nature and land, so there will always be shortages if uncontrolled climate factors occur, which is different from what has already happened. Doing it with renewable technology will have no impact.
-
There are many factors in food shortages, the main factor being that farmers fail to harvest because of various problems, including pests, bad climate, so that the harvest schedule can fail because of that.
secondly, there is manipulation of rice stocks by certain individuals who want to take advantage when rice prices rise high,
If farmers and the government work together there should be no food shortages in every country

Good point. Sad reality and this is what had happened around the world for many centuries. What broke my heart here in my country is that smugglers are rampant and I think has connections with some corrupt government officials that affected most local farmers because these lawless bastards manipulated the market for their own good. Though some of these smugglers were exposed but I doubt they're gonna face any charges since the corrupt is all behind this. Money is money.

food shortage is one of the thing that brings down value of a particular country. food shortage occurred as a result of insufficient availability of food in order to meet up the demands as required by the population/citizen. there are certain things that results to food shortage in a country,some among this factors are bad governance, insufficient resources, conflict, hatred,etc. failure to address food shortage may sometimes result to citizens committing suicide as well as fighting and killing one another.

It is unfortunate that many countries around the world face this common scenario. This problem arises from bad governance and corrupt officials. Those officials who focus solely on making their pockets rich rather than helping the citizens in need. If they only focus solely on the development of their country and the growth of their agriculture, such experiences can be avoided.

I'm sure there are still many practices that have not been uncovered until now, one of which is illegal practices and maybe legal practices because they are assisted by the authorities for their own interests.
Although many may be revealed as you say, but what percentage of the total is revealed? That is the question.
Because I am very sure that if one problem is revealed that is detrimental to farmers, it is only a bait to pass the other nine problems. Maybe it seems as if I know the most about what happened, but if we look at the news, it is not something impossible that can happen.

In the modern world, food shortages are nonsense. There is overproduction of food in the world, and this is very easy to see.
I have my own opinion, and I have arguments - the key and real reasons for food shortages in a particular country are either government corruption or a totalitarian regime. There is hardly any other reason for the systemic, constant shortage of food in the country.
Yes, let me clarify - we are talking about a systemic lack of food in the country, and not a situational one, when, for example, fires or a tsunami hit the country.

Those officials who focus solely on making their pockets rich rather than helping the citizens in need. If they only focus solely on the development of their country and the growth of their agriculture, such experiences can be avoided.
Of course, for a country that has a high sense of morals, a corrupt leader who only takes time away from the service will certainly be embarrassed and resign due to his inability to maintain the trust that has been entrusted to him. For leaders in countries, especially developing countries, it is clear that corruption instead blames policies and accuses others, distorting existing facts.
That's why countries with high levels of morals are guaranteed to have good growth in all sectors, especially the agricultural sector which is the main commodity for life.

Food shortage happens as a result of insufficient supply of food inorder to meet up needs of a population which results to hunger and other related issues.
Food shortage have effects on both individuals and economics in a society or country. Food shortage has some effect on individuals and societies, and some of this effects are; health impacts, economic impacts and health impacts on food shortage can lead to malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and an increase in the prevalence of disease. Malnutrition has effects on both children and pregnant women and it has a long lasting effect on physical and cognitive development. Economic impact in some countries depends largely on agriculture. Farmers in some cases may struggle to produce enough food due to various factors such as climate change, pests, lack of resources and lot more can leads to decrease in food consumption or supply.

Food shortage have multifaceted and severe impacts on both individuals and countries, affecting not just the physical wellbeing of people but also their economic stability and social fabric. Governments organisations and communities must or should work together to address or handle the root causes of food shortage and try to implement sustainable solutions to ensure for security for all citizens.
Food shortage can lead to social unrest and political instability. When individuals and citizens is not able to access an adequate food supply, it results to protest, riots and conflict as well over scarce resources. In severe cases of food shortage, people maybe forced to migrate in search of better opportunities or food security, this can strain resources in other countries/regions and thereby lead to social tensions. In most cases of food shortage, countries may become dependent on external aids or food assistance programs which may or can strain international aid resources and have long term implications for development.

In the modern world, food shortages are nonsense. There is overproduction of food in the world, and this is very easy to see.
I have my own opinion, and I have arguments - the key and real reasons for food shortages in a particular country are either government corruption or a totalitarian regime. There is hardly any other reason for the systemic, constant shortage of food in the country.
Yes, let me clarify - we are talking about a systemic lack of food in the country, and not a situational one, when, for example, fires or a tsunami hit the country.
I completely agree and have left you +karma for it. After seeing all the people in the thread parroting the premise, taking it for granted, I finally find a comment that expresses exactly what I think. We live in the greatest time of food abundance of humanity, where all indicators point to a reduction in global hunger, a reduction in mortality, an increase in life expectancy, an increase in obesity and many other indicators that do not match the image that there is a shortage of food in the world, except for the specific cases you mention.

Thanks for the assessment :)
Unfortunately people tend to look for more "convenient reasons" to explain this or that problem, and the truth is not always pleasant. And in today's situation with the problems in providing the population of people, it is not the weather conditions and crops, but human greed and venality that are to blame. I have already written once - the UN and organizations around it "feed" on the huge flows of money that the whole world gives to help countries where there is a food crisis. But the problem is that the real aid reaches 10%, and the rest becomes the prey of corrupt UN officials, the Red Cross, and local politicians and rulers. If this money had not been stolen, the problem would not exist. If this money was not "spent," but invested in the development of the agricultural sector in countries where there are regular "problems" with food - they would have been feeding neighboring countries and developing their economies for many years. But it is profitable for the UN and similar corrupt officials to leave the situation as it is - otherwise they will be deprived of regular huge funds!

Almost every week I go food shopping and shelves are loaded with food. Employees refill shelves all day long, over and over again. Dont understand what is that «food shortage» that you are talking about. There are regions and countries that are poor and people cant allow to buy food. But that does not mean that there are not foot at all. If you have different opinion, then for example name me any country that has little food and food export there is forbidden. Its money shortage or buying power shortage, not food shortage in the world. Maybe there are some products that are less available than you used to have, but definitely not a situation that there is nothing left to eat.
-
I'm sure there are still many practices that have not been uncovered until now, one of which is illegal practices and maybe legal practices because they are assisted by the authorities for their own interests.
Although many may be revealed as you say, but what percentage of the total is revealed? That is the question.
Manipulation by smugglers and corrupt politicians is for me the worst thing that has happened here in my country because I can see it myself after the devastation of natural disasters here in my region.
About the percentage it's hard to speculate but those big names consists of networks that is hard to trace given that most of these smugglers do gave bribes to some law enforcers and even politicians to keep quiet and back em up.

Generally food shortage is attributed to so many things in a society, in some countries, food shortage is caused as a result of natural disasters like flood, earthquake etc... these factors cause death and it is dangerous, it also hinder the farmers from cultivating and farming...
Food shortage gives rise to inflation, because when the food is scarce then the prize of foodstuffs will increase and it will lead to high costs of living.

Unfortunately, this is a wrong opinion. And it is extremely simple to prove this - look, for example, at international assistance programs for countries with food products. You will be surprised - but on the list of PERMANENT recipients of such food aid are countries that have been receiving aid for DECADES. Do you want to say the products are delivered to the center of the Sahara Desert? No, these are countries quite suitable for the development of the agricultural sector. What you described are isolated cases....

The example you have provided can be called a short-term food shortage. These natural disasters does not come one after another, and in between people have lean period. What you have mentioned can be solved with several major food deliveries. Or the easiest solution move people from that region, than continuously deliver food to them.
By the look of always full warehouses. And inflation. It might be opposite - we have more food that people could buy. I know that it might sound strange. But for entire live, I have never seen shops with empty shelves nor in my country, not in countries I have visited.

If you’ve ever been to the high ways linking several major cities to see the trucks and trailers of food that is been transported into the urbanized cities, you wouldn’t give much attention to food shortages.
It exists non the less but, it’s very minimal. Most times, we tend to project agriculture like it’s not been given much attention, simply because most students don’t take it for a career option these days except for some supplementary admission but, life also have pushed a lot of others into various forms of farming.
The worst enemy to agriculture and consequently food shortage is war. Wars like we have between Israel and Gaza. Where towns and villages found within the hot region aren’t given any chance to tend to their crops or livestocks and food isn’t been allowed into the cities.
Agriculture have got support, there is food but, most people just can’t afford them. That’s the bitter truth!

Another option for improving food safety is to increase productivity in agriculture. This can be accomplished by putting resources into research and development, deploying fresh innovations, and improving equipment like water systems and storage spaces. For example, in India, the authorities has worked to boost rice and wheat crop output by producing new insect and disease-resistant seed types. This includes raising investment in other industries to lessen dependence on agribusiness. In addition, measures that promote trade as well as investment can be successful.

These takes years to materialized while the likes of Bill Gates are buying the agricultural land and farms.
There are already research facilities doing these, they could have come up rice variety that grows faster and insect resistance but these tech are not shared to all countries actually. It becomes political at some point.

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.
Actually the cause of food shortage in a society or a country occur when the country does not have enough food supply and when there is a shortage of food in the society and food shortage can occur in a country when the consumption rate is more than the production rate, and food shortage can occur in a war torn countries, a country where there is insecurity and crisis can cause food shortage to that nation.

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.
[/quote]
Yes I agree with you, exploitation of Natural resources also can cause food shortage. And all these problems lead to inflation and high cost of living in a country too. Government policies will play a very vital role in putting end to food shortage..

There are various factors on why there's a Food shortage. This can be caused by Climate Change, Natural Disasters, Pests and supply chain disruptions and even wars because it can disrupt the deliveries to some places.

That's a controversial statement. Let me explain with an example. I am an investor in one of the crypto-agro projects. There is a greenhouse farm, there is open ground. Obviously, they buy planting material that gives the best results - quality, disease resistance, weight, etc. And here it all depends on the owner of the land want to buy and plant classic planting material, and want - for example, Syngenta and their planting material. If you want to grow your own natural planting material for future seasons, don't grow it. I just when I hear these stories about "insidious capitalists" with their planting material I always ask the question - "is anyone forcing you to buy them?". NO! If you don't want to buy them, don't buy them, but if you do, protect yourself from monopolization and complete dependence on one supplier. For example, you do not buy gasoline only at one gas station, or food only in one store ? :)
And about land and Bill Gates. I have already written once - I was on business in African countries and talked to local businessmen. And I asked a question, looking around - "why your country has been asking for food aid for decades, if you have the right conditions for the development of the agricultural sector. Attract investments, develop agro, make money, and provide yourselves with food". Do you want to hear the answer ? "It's not profitable" !!!! No, not to Bill Gates or the insidious West. It is not profitable for corrupt officials from the UN, the Red Cross, and local "czars" who get money from it and manipulate the population..... Putting the blame on whom is the easiest way, but the most useless. It is necessary to recognize the reality, the real culprits and the real causes of problems, even if it turns out to be your favorite president, brother or friend ...

Food shortage gives rise to inflation, because when the food is scarce then the price of foodstuffs will increase and it will lead to high costs of living.
In addition, a crisis can cause food shortages. It has been predicted that Nigeria may experience food shortage due to the clash between farmers and herdsmen which affected farming activities. Also, most farmers have called on the government to support them to increase their productivity and the neglect by the government will lead to a shortage of food in the country in time to come.

Nigeria has a case study
A state called Niger State in Nigeria has the largest land mass in which her new state confidently promised them to make use of the opportunity of the land mass in other to provide her citizenship with the food security, the state is capable to feed Nigeria as a country if state make use of the opportunities with that it's will bring the country to lime light
Wise saying that food is life without food we will be no more
I pray and hope for the project to yield positive outcome

A bit of history: in the 50s and 60s of the last century, the challenge was to feed a growing population. And not expensively and with the main products. One of the most popular products was and still is wheat and bread. Wheat has two disadvantages - a long and not very strong stem, and not the highest yield. There is a problem to be solved. The problem was solved by genetically modifying (yes yes yes yes - GMOs have been in the world economy for a long time ! :) ). Of course, we chose plants with similar "characteristics". The choice fell on some varieties ... rice. Very strong stem, very high yield. So we decided. And we got most modern wheat varieties - with a stable stem, and high yields. Problem solved ?! Yes. But... as always, there were nuances. The rice that was supposed to help the wheat had a higher percentage of starch (gluten). So what do you say. Well, yes, but, again, it's the component of food that leads to obesity, type 2 diabetes and a whole host of other diseases. But at least everybody's full.
As I have already said many times - it is necessary to stop just "feeding" many countries, and the money that is allocated for the purchase of food and is significantly plundered by managers of the UN, the Red Cross, and local politicians, should be invested in investments in agriculture in countries where the population is hungry. Let them grow their own crops, harvest their own crops, process their own crops - this will help develop agriculture, create jobs and better control over financial aid, as well as the ability to sell produce, which will only benefit those countries.

It is not only a large land mass that is required for agriculture to be successful; even without a land mass, agriculture can still be practiced because modern technology has made it so. Arable crops for consumption can now be grown in controlled environments, stacked in vertical layers in a method called vertical farming. With this method, little space can provide enough agricultural products.
In countries like Nigeria with adequate land mass for agriculture, the government has to make the sector attractive to young people because many of the old people are too old to carry on farming, and the younger generation is losing interest in it.

Not only war and insecurities can make a country to have a shortage in food supply, the government policy can make food to be scares and expensive. For instance, in a situation where the government doesn't offer subsidy to farmers in agriculture, it will discourage a lot of farmers to continue and the ones farming will sell their agriculture products and produce at high price even when they are limited in number.
When the government doesn't give amenities to rural areas, it discourage the farmers. It's only when the government gives grants and loans to them, farming can loom in a country, without farmers the country will die of hunger from poor to middle-class and the rich people.

Food shortages are a big concern for every nation it reflects the state of the country and in third world countries like mine situated in a tropical region where there are phenomenons like the La Nina and La Nino which wreck havoc on the agricultural industries.
Another big concern is the logistics the foods are not properly transported to places where they need the supply because of transportation and government red tape, sometimes the cause of food shortage are created by the people in the government.

Actually the main reason of food shortage is the lack of support from the government towards the farmers , because if the government providing better support for every farmers from storage to enough lands and farm to market roads? there will never be a shortage because each farmers can store their crops readying for every possible problem that the country may experience , but yeah the government is just gaining taxes from them but caring not enough.
look at the countries that have full support from the government to their farmers , they will never having this kind of problems.

As can be gleamed in the history of man on this planet, we usually produce a solution for a problem but can be creating another problem along the way. Essentially, this is the history of the "good and evil"...something good may have something "evil" attached to it. Countries are spending billions of money as aid for developing countries for the past many decades and sadly the problem of poverty and hunger still persist...therefore we can say that the solutions provided may not really be appropriate, sustainable and yes in many cases have not reached the intended beneficiaries. We need to have a big paradigm shift...we need to change the strategy and it must include empowering these people to be able to produce their foods and yes even be selling producers themselves. Right now, there are already available technologies that can help people farm their land the right way and it is a matter of educating the stakeholders so they took the burden of being the very captain of their destiny.

Manipulation by smugglers and corrupt politicians is for me the worst thing that has happened here in my country because I can see it myself after the devastation of natural disasters here in my region.
sad reality of life , specially the rice that the government and the corrupt businessman is taking advantage of the situation ,
i remember back years when the rice is 50% cheaper but just 7 years passed and the price now is doubled.
About the percentage it's hard to speculate but those big names consists of networks that is hard to trace given that most of these smugglers do gave bribes to some law enforcers and even politicians to keep quiet and back em up.
they are running the system because there are lots of crocodile in the government and the enforcer lol.

They will not be able to do this easily and they will also definitely need someone on the inside to make what they are doing go according to plan, and in fact these are interrelated things and it is not strange when there are law enforcement officers who are also involved. play.
Things like this are very detrimental and they harm the country, and those who feel the impact the most are the people at the bottom.

Of course it will affect the food supply as these farmers might protest, and will make something that might cause negative result like food shortage so yeah government should spend what is needed to get a sufficient supply of food for domestic needs and export. As heat index soar at the moment I think it also affects as climate becomes more agressive nowadays.

Food shortage in my country is alarming and add it with high cost of living. It is not we can't produce agricultural products to feed ourselves but the problem is that we are in the farms farming to make sure that food products will be plenty in the society to eat, but some top politicians would sponsored some bad boys to come and invade the farmers and kill them and rade the communities, all because the foods would be much for the people to eat and the manufacturers would not sell their goods like that again so the best ways is to destroy the farmers so they can sell theirs. We know all these things that are happening in the world and time is coming it will stop.

I thought of this situation as isolated in some parts of the world but it's quite alarming than any other crime that involves bloody food same as what blood money is. As of the moment climate is what makes farmers having a hard time getting good harvest and smuggled goods will kill their business too.

Question - have farmers tried to unite, or create their own armed "farmer's police" (the best option), or hire paramilitary guards that can give a tough answer to bandits ?
Well, and in parallel to solve the issue with the criminal, anti-people government ... You have to "gnaw your freedom and rights with your teeth", otherwise you will have neither freedom nor rights ... no business, no food, nothing.

Due to the increase in population, now almost every country has less food production because people are building their living quarters by filling the agricultural land. It is not really an intentional process because the amount of people in the created world is increasing day by day while the amount of land and soil is decreasing. Moreover this happens due to the right business and weather changes. Proper preparations should be made to deal with food shortages and the government of that country should play a major role in all these matters. Food left over in stores is always stored which adversely affects the food supply of a country. But due to dishonest business-related reasons people do this to make more profit.

I'm sorry, but that's a misconception. In developed countries, where there is a huge level of urbanization, there is a PERFORMANCE of food. Lack of food in some countries or regions is a completely man-made problem. The main “customer” of the problem is all kinds of international funds (UN, Red Cross, etc. “humanitarian” structures), the corrupt leadership of these structures, as well as the corrupt governments of the countries where this “project” is implemented!

Lack of food in some countries or regions is a completely man-made problem. The main “customer” of the problem is all kinds of international funds (UN, Red Cross, etc. “humanitarian” structures), the corrupt leadership of these structures, as well as the corrupt governments of the countries where this “project” is implemented!
Yeah exactly, but here in my country natural disasters is prone and man made thing is quite common. 😅 Double damage to be honest but yeah we can do nothing but accept the fact that despite the efforts we pour into the food sector, the corrupt still has the last laugh.
I guess it's time to start fighting corruption..... The fact is that corruption in relation to the state is like a cancerous tumor in the body of the state. It slowly destroys the country, its resources, destroying the economy, morality, human relations.... If you don't start treatment in time, it can be very late...

Due to the increase in population, now almost every country has less food production because people are building their living quarters by filling the agricultural land. It is not really an intentional process because the amount of people in the created world is increasing day by day while the amount of land and soil is decreasing. Moreover this happens due to the right business and weather changes. Proper preparations should be made to deal with food shortages and the government of that country should play a major role in all these matters. Food left over in stores is always stored which adversely affects the food supply of a country. But due to dishonest business-related reasons people do this to make more profit.

we have different issues about farmers which the officials and people in the middle are the issues in my country. they can't even build bridges and roads for farmers to easily deliver their products.
in some countries, its the excessive regulation on environmental protection which includes cow producing more carbon than the cars lol and they were forbidden to buy fertilizers or if they are the tariff for guanos are higher.
and then bill gates buying up their lands. there's even rumors bill gates also buying up the farm lands in my country.
-
Food shortage could be what can happen to any country as long as they are not having more hands into the practice of agriculture, we have to understand that the governments also have a vital role they have to play in making sure that there is food availability for the people and this will also be one of the reasons why the economy is be more increasing than before and they could do much of exports than imports in other to boost their economy.

Why they don't build for farmers who could provide your country with food, affordable food, and new jobs - I pointed out above. And it's corruption. Not Bill Gates, not someone banning cows in other countries, not Greenpeace..... No - it is your neighbors, your citizens, who have gained access to power and to the corrupt international network of “humanitarian structures” where billions of dollars are actually spent. Just read what officials of the UN, the Red Cross and other “humanitarian associations” are doing.
Bill Gates is a businessman, and he invests in objects that can bring profit. And it is not excluded just the construction of agricultural farms, where many people will work, to whom he will give work, which will produce food for your country, which will destroy the “reign” of local corruptors. The fact that they spread rumors is a “normal practice” to manipulate the consciousness of the population. Just do the math - who benefits from not letting you produce food....
PS and for information - in countries where there are ambiguous laws, for example on reduction of cow population, there with food production everything is very good and people have accessible, qualitative and inexpensive food!

That if that is what the governments priority but if their priority is to take advantage of the peoples money then that is a bad idea as the country's agriculture sector will shrink and cause food shortages given that natural disasters are way too agressive nowadays due to climate change in addition to lack of support then that is where it all ends the reason why we can see protests anywhere in the world because the government don't listen to the needs of the farmers.

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.
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.
If only governments has coordination with local farmers with corresponding assistance that may help increase productivity and good harvest will create a sustainable food source for the citizens or even afford to have exports that may add economic growth to the country. The only problem here is that smugglers are rampant and corrupt officials gave them opportunity to commit manipulation of goods due to bribery. That manipulation and import of smuggled goods hurts local farmers a lot.

Food shortage in my country is alarming and add it with high cost of living. It is not we can't produce agricultural products to feed ourselves but the problem is that we are in the farms farming to make sure that food products will be plenty in the society to eat, but some top politicians would sponsored some bad boys to come and invade the farmers and kill them and rade the communities, all because the foods would be much for the people to eat and the manufacturers would not sell their goods like that again so the best ways is to destroy the farmers so they can sell theirs. We know all these things that are happening in the world and time is coming it will stop.
People are not going into agriculture as before and the more we are having an increase in demands for agricultural products, then we should expect things to keep getting expensive and the market going more unfriendly for these farm products, but in other for us not to be affected, we can choose not to go blind as others pretend not to see what in going on together with the danger ahead for not farming, at least operating a home made house garden is not a bad idea if many of us could go into farming, it can be sustainable to an extent.

I don't know of your country but my country people are ready to go I to agricultural (farming) but the kidnapping, and terrorists are the major problems we are facing in the country. Herdsmen are using their Cows to eat farmers crops and in also kill the farmers if he speak against them. So because of that people are afraid to go to farming. And the government can't stop that in the country. And last week the Senate passed a bill to stop Herdsmen from moving with cows from one place to another but they should in one place. But the Northern Senators refused the bill. And once that bill is implemented then agricultural products will be in abundance in the country again.

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.
Yes, Farmers are not taken care well and they don't have enough budget to produce food. The food demands are getting higher they must give importance and take action and help farmers so that they can have good produce.
-
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.
Of course, that should be there priority too, not only demanding us to pay taxes and all that, they should also be able to provide our basic needs which is food and security, also provide all the necessary equipment for the farmers to make things easier and faster for them, which can help in providing enough food for its people. Those government that refuse to help the farmers if eventually the farmers decide to stop farming, it will affect them and the society in which it will pave way for our youths to engage themselves in activities that are against the law such as kidnapping, killing, stealing etc. so let's help each other in a way we can.
-

Farmers needs the support of the government. Governments should provide farmers with necessary support to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security. They should provide equipment and machinery that they will use so that they should be able them to farm more food for the People's consumption, they should provide enough quality seeds to generate more food, they should provide the farmers with the fertilizer that they will put on the crops to grow faster and well. Number of people are increasing continuously, so food should not be shortage because people need to consume more food, for the growth/development of the body.
By working together, we can ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food, support rural development, and promote sustainable agriculture practices.

Unfortunately, even when incentives and empowerments are provided to farmers, not all genuine farmers have access to them due to the manner in which the incentives are distributed. Farmers are sometimes required to submit applications online, and because some of these real farmers lack access to and knowledge of the empowerment, those who apply for it are mostly enlightened citizens rather than genuine farmers.
Therefore, attention must be focused on how farmers' incentives are distributed because personally I am aware of some government empowerments directed to farmers but were poorly done. When it comes to government empowerment, I believe that rather than doing it online, a committee should be formed to travel around and get to know the genuine farmers before empowering them.

Government is not been effective in it's ways. They are even making the lives of these farmers worse than before they only make It convenient to large farms who also give them flavor.
If you are a farmer with nothing to offer, then you're nothing to the government. My family been a rice farmer since the great great grandpa. They have to beg for the department of agriculture for the better seedlings that can grow faster in different seasons.

I'm about to say words that a lot of people won't like, but unfortunately - it will be the truth.
It is not profitable for the state to support small farmers!
To support small farmers - It is difficult, it does not guarantee the result, it does not allow to realize corruption schemes and many other things. It is easier to “feed” 2-3-5-10 large agricultural holdings, which can guarantee contractual supplies, be loyal to the authorities, flexible and technological enough.... And this “model” works in most countries ! Unfortunately ...
-
Speaking about small farmers, I find it strange how people somehow support them in a strange way. Not a mystery that farmers, when they sell their products, put higher or cost price for their products, which is higher than we had in mass market or chain stores. People come, see that tomatoes cost 5-7 EUR/kg, and go to regular store to buy exported tomatoes for 2-3 EUR/kg.
Speaking about small farmers, I have seen many times how they go bankrupt or end business on purpose, because they cant produce «EU standard» product, nor ready to sell their products for nothing, to have them imported and exported back with high price and labeled «EU standard». Example, local farmers sold milk for nothing, it has been imported to other country to a factory, where it has been sterilized, then it is exported back and become EU standard milk with a price of x3-x4 from origin.

There is often a theme that products from the farmer - they are ecological, without GMOs and other “scares” for the mass consumer ! People have invented their own fears and “heroically fight against them” :)
On the other hand, farmers can grow more interesting varieties, with other consumer properties, which can attract buyers and justify a higher price. Plus farmer's fairs (I judge by those that take place in our country) always offer a wider assortment and price range - there is, conditionally, the same product, and cheaper, for people with small incomes, and more expensive (for example, larger, ripe, juicy fruits), for people with higher incomes.

Food shortage is a challenge that should give government at all levels in every clime concern. When there's food shortage there's likely to be inflation as demand for food will be greater than the supply for food.
Food shortage mostly is caused by natural disaster and in some cars man. The Nigeria experience for instance is caused by crisis which is man made

my country experience calamities every year, the pacific typhoon always ruins the crops of the farmers but because there are plenty of them, they still could supply the whole country and our government also import rice and some products that are pretty much cheaper than the local products.
the calamities should have been a wake up call or us but we re used to them already and my country still is abundant with food. surrounded by waters and the land is rich fit for planting crops.
-
Food shortage in a country in this present generation can be caused if only the citizens are not engaging in agriculture if they are, there is no way a country would surfer from natural food scarcity. Like in my country where everyone loves agriculture despite the poor Economy but there is no food scarcity rather the foods are gotten agriculturally and even sold for some money to meet up the standard of the economy. There can't be food shortage in my country and I'm proud of that. Everyone does there thing and does not involve the government in this aspect.
-
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.
Yes, I'm Nigeria for instance everyone wants to work in an oil company or one government agency or parastatal, they see farming as occupation for the poor

-
Generally, food shortage occurs in a country due to various reasons, especially in agriculture, if there is no rain on time, water irrigation cannot be provided, then food production will be less, if the increased population will cause most of the pressure on food. Abundance of agricultural facilities and increased population are enough to cause food shortage in a country. Moreover, if the population is not active in a country and becomes a burden for the country, then it is not possible to develop the agriculture of that country and if agriculture does not develop, there will be a definite food shortage in that country.

Apart from that small land even if you have vast land a farmer will still find it hard to supply enough to make riches because of the laws created by the governments today.
In Europe the farmers were limited to one a number of cows to grow because of new laws about cows. The fishiing industry also have limits where there are seasons for fishing and season to stop fishing.

In my community, food shortage is a significant issue, but it's not solely due to agricultural problems. Actually, food production has improved, and there's sufficient food available in my area. But, the main challenge is that many people do not have the financial means to purchase the food they need.

It is important to note that, food shortage can happen in any country that experience something like water pollution, erosion, war, rapid population growth, limited access to resources like loan, dependence on food imports, no access roads for farmers to bring out their harvested foodstuffs
-

If a country does not have adequate irrigation, agricultural production will generally decrease. When agricultural production decreases, food shortage occurs automatically in the country. Moreover, if the farmer does not get enough capital, especially the government loan, then the farmer will never be able to produce good food, resulting in food shortage. Moreover, due to the amount of plastic waste scattered in the environment, arable land is gradually decreasing, thus food production is decreasing to a large extent than before.
-
Food shortage is not what is happening for the first time, this has been what the entire world had been facing for long and one of the reasons to the cause of this is poor performance in the agricultural sector, we need to encourage people to go into farming and help create enough availability of food for human consumption, this will also increase the economy growth as well reduction in the poverty level for the people to have a sustainable life.

Food shortages have been around for a long time, and a big reason is that farming isn't doing as well as it should. We need to encourage more people to start farming so there’s enough food for everyone. Plus, it can help the economy grow and reduce poverty, improving many people's lives.

If we can find the main causes of food shortage, it is possible to reduce the food shortage, so we have to find the main causes of food shortage to reduce the food shortage.
The main reason is lack of proper knowledge in food production.
A farmer can produce the maximum yield from his land only when he can take proper care of the crop he is growing, timely fertilizing, irrigation mains, removal of weeds, right time harvesting etc. If a farmer is well informed about his land can get production.

You cannot export milk that hasn't been at least pasteurized from any country in the EU, so this scenario is simply fantasy, nobody is going to buy not-treated milk, ship it in a cold tank to a factory outside the country, treat it, and then resell back in the country.
Milk pasteurization is a simple process, it would make no sense to ship it, if those buyers were interested in this they could simply set up a processing plant next to the area where they buy the milk from, if you're driving that truck for more than 100 miles to the factory you're already losing money.
The killer for small farms is the fat composition since you need to bump the cow feed to keep the requirements and the daily production, again you need constant, that's why big farms win countries with subsidies are killing small ones in others, but shipping milk twice across the border even with Schengen, neah, when ALDI has a 48 hour requirement for fresh meat/milk/eggs delivery they won't deal with stuff stuck one week in transit.

The governments actually have an important role in giving fair budget to research programs, machineries, education and give serious attention to agriculture. They also have to protect farmers and the whole sector from illegal smugglers that affects and hurts their effort to sustain the needs of a specific country because if not or the government doesn't care about them then aside from natural calamity things will never be good in the long run if they don't support this sector.

honestly a lot of countries seem to forget about crisis when it comes to education my country is under a serious problem where not many students are doing well and even those who do well in school can't afford to go study and therefore the country is losing so many great minds that could have helped in so many developments but instead forced to work
there is not enough investment to education and development which does not help the country progress better and faster
They also have to protect farmers and the whole sector from illegal smugglers that affects and hurts their effort to sustain the needs of a specific country because if not or the government doesn't care about them then aside from natural calamity things will never be good in the long run if they don't support this sector.
what hurts is sometimes it is the government itself importing products and not supporting the local farmers it can be frustrating for the farmers and demotivating

Public awareness should be created in this regard, farmers should be informed about the use of technology. To deal with food shortage, proper distribution policy of food should be followed, fallow land should be brought under cultivation, maximum production of crops should be ensured on a plot of land.

Food shortage is one phenomenal that is common to developing countries and this is basically because of due to lack of sufficient investment in the Agricultural base of such nation food shortage can lead to hunger malnutrition among the young generation of countries which has a negative effects on such country the main way to tackle food shortage is through mechanized farming government has to take drastic measures by investing into the Agricultural base and this is only possible through using Agricultural machines like tractors and relevant implement that will help in farming which will boost the Agricultural base and translate to production of food

In the context of our Bangladesh, if it can be said that most of the farmers usually do not get enough training opportunities, how to cultivate the land, when to apply fertilizer, when to plant crops, if they do not know well, food production decreases at a significant rate. Moreover, the selection of such fertilizers depends on the fertility of the land. Generally, farmers give importance to chemical fertilizers, but in order to get more crop production, farmers should be more aware of the fact that compost fertilizers should be used more instead of chemical fertilizers.

I get what you're saying and I agree with you because for a country to have food sufficiency the farming population needs to have a good background knowledge of farming which includes the entire process involved in the farming process which includes clearing, planting and harvesting process also having a great knowledge of season either raining season or dry season and know when to plant and nature theses crops that are planted till the time that they are due for harvesting is improving when it comes to having food in a country this is the main reason why government of countries should take it as a duty to sponsor programs that will aim at enlightening the citizens about farming so they could be sufficiently informed concerning agricultural processes

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.
In my community, food shortage is a significant issue, but it's not solely due to agricultural problems. Actually, food production has improved, and there's sufficient food available in my area. But, the main challenge is that many people do not have the financial means to purchase the food they need.
My own community as well as the community around us depends solely on Agriculture and as such we are always planting all through the ear, irrespective of this we tend to experience food shortage especially during dry seasons. We hardly plant during this season due to shortage of water in the community accompanied by no rain fall.
Another primary cause of food shortage in my community is theft. Young teenagers mostly go around people's farm stealing their crops which they will later eat all by themselves.

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.
Whatever situation that the citizens find themselves whether good or bad depends on the kind of leaders they have, any country that has a bad or corrupt leader, their economic situation will be at risk and there people will have to suffer and they won’t mind if they are hurting their people feelings or not and in this case if God did not intervene, people will continue to suffer in pains.
So it’s good for people to always elect in a good and responsible leader that the people’s interests is their priority.

Any country with a good leader it doesn't take them time to solve any problem that's arising to the people because they no that is from problem bad thing began to emerge from the country so they usually stop it from becoming whole but in a government without good leaders who think that way they would neglect everything so long as is not affecting them and from there something that shouldn't have been happening in that country will start gaining ground and become out of control.
