How would you ensure food security for all citizens?
Lack of food or hunger is a worldwide problem. Almost half the children in Pakistan are malnourished and stunted. It affects not only their physical growth but mental, intellectual and emotional wellbeing also. Pakistan is an agricultural country. There is no excuse for people to go hungry. Food should not be simply to satisfy hunger but it should be nourishing and include all necessary ingredients for a healthy life.
To ensure food security we need to have a comprehensive land policy. Unused land should be cultivated, Land reforms should be implemented, agricultural land should be protected and agricultural methods should be modernized. Water management is another important area that needs to be addressed. And then there has to be proper distribution plan for food items so that it is available to all citizens. State has to get involved and regulate food production and distribution in a fair and equitable manner.
