Solutions to Food Insecurity

Provision of good seeds and tools should be made for farming, and also enlightenment on how to manage their farms to produce more food.

Job opportunities should be created for individuals, and support for small-scale businesses to provide money for people to get enough food.

The government should also consider the helpless and poor people by providing food or money for them.

People should be educated on food security, the need to get a good nutritious meal and make use of small available spaces as a garden to grow suitable vegetables and fruits for food should be encouraged.
