Ways to improve food security

  There is several ways to improve food security. Firstly, government should encourage the removal of subsidies and blending ratios of first generation bio-fuels to  promote higher generation of bio-fuels based on waste. Therefore,  cropland can avoid to be captured to produce bio-fuels and can be used for making food to meet consumer needs. This can be done by removing subsidies on agricultural commodities and inputs that are exacerbating the developing food crisis, and investing in shifting to sustainable food systems and food energy efficiency.

  Moreover, government has to reduce the risk of highly volatile prices, price regulation on commodities and larger cereal stocks. This can be done by reorganizing the food market infrastructure and institutions to regulate food prices and provide food safety nets aimed at alleviating the impacts of rising food prices and food shortage, including both direct and indirect transfers, such as a global fund to support micro-finance to boost small-scale farmer productivity. This not only can  buffer the tight markets of food commodities but also the subsequent risks of speculation in markets. 

  Other than that, government also has to raise awareness of the pressures of increasing population growth and consumption patterns on sustainable ecosystem functioning. This can help to develop solutions quickly  to overcome food insecurity problem. Meanwhile, government should also improve infrastructure and reduce trade barriers to achieve an increased trade and improved market access. This results in mitigating the consumer needs and the population of hungry people can be reduced.

  In addition to that, government must support farmers in developing diversified and resilient eco-agriculture systems that provide food supply and climate regulation. This includes managing extreme rainfall and using inter-cropping to minimize dependency on external inputs like artificial fertilizers, pesticides and blue irrigation water and the development, implementation and support of green technology also for small-scale farmers. Besides, government must promote climate- friendly agricultural production systems and land-use policies at a scale in order to help mitigate climate change.
