Many people believe that countries should produce food for all population and imported food as little as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Food concerns each individual as it is the foundation of people’s lives. Therefore, governments attach great importance to the supply of food. However, in my opinion, a government does not need to provide food for all its population.
Firstly, other fields of a country can be better developed if it only provides food for part of its population.
a country which produces food for all population will find its efforts in other fields are affected. However, with a certain proportion of food being imported, more attention of the country can be paid to improving, for example, industry or education. Because what a country can do is limited and other fields are more concerned with people’s living standard.
Secondly, some countries have an advantage over others to produce certain kinds of food. Not every country can provide its people with all knids of food. For example, seafood can only be provided by coastal countries. Therefore, only when a country introduces food from others can its people have access to diverse kinds of food, which is also why importing food means to better serve its all population.
Admittedly, some food from other countries may not suit the appetite of a specific nation, but it is not necessary for government to import food as little as possible. Imported food can be specially made to comply with the kind a nation is used to, which makes it possible that people can easily adapt to and enjoy food with different zest.
Generally, there is no need for governments to try to provide food for all of its population. They should import food according to the need of people.
