Food security is an important topic closely related to people's lives. However, in today's society, people are worried that no one is actually responsible for food security. Although national food security is the responsibility of the government, food security is still a major problem in rural areas.
First, the uncertainty of food production is one of the main factors in food security. Farmers in rural areas are facing many production difficulties, such as increasing weather extremes, lagging agricultural technology, and decreasing land resources. These problems have led to a decrease in farmers' income from growing grain, and a decrease in their enthusiasm for planting, which directly affects grain production and quality. Faced with this situation, many farmers have chosen to abandon the cultivation of grain and turn to other agricultural products with more substantial incomes, which further increases the instability of food supply.
Second, there are a series of problems in grain storage and circulation, which have brought hidden dangers to food security. The management of agricultural product storage warehouses is not standardized, which can easily lead to grain decay and deterioration; in the circulation link, problems such as opacity of grain prices and poor logistics also make there hidden dangers in the transportation and sale of grain. These problems not only make it difficult to ensure the quality of food, but also lead to food waste and loss, posing a threat to food security.
Thirdly, the infrastructure and technical means in rural areas are relatively lagging behind and cannot meet the needs of food production and management. There is a shortage of irrigation facilities, agricultural machinery and equipment, and agricultural scientific and technological personnel in rural areas, which makes it impossible for farmers to have more choices and opportunities in the process of grain production, and they are unable to make full use of modern agricultural technology to improve production efficiency and quality.
In view of the above problems, solving the problem of food security requires the joint efforts of the whole society. The government should increase policy support, increase agricultural input, provide more agricultural subsidies, and strengthen the promotion of agricultural technology to improve farmers' food production skills and awareness. In addition, the establishment of a sound grain reserve and circulation system also needs the attention and promotion of the government. In order to solve the problem of lagging infrastructure in rural areas, it is necessary to raise the level of infrastructure construction in rural areas, strengthen the construction and improvement of rural infrastructure such as electricity, telecommunications, and transportation, and provide better conditions for grain production and management.
At the same time, farmers should also improve their own awareness and quality, and enhance their attention and sense of responsibility for food security. Only when farmers themselves have sufficient awareness of food security and take the initiative to take action can they promote food security
