Like I’ve said earlier in the primitive day’s man find ways to get their food naturally in
nature and has divided the resources equally to its people. But as man became more intelligent,
man became more unsatisfied and greedy. Man had started to colonialize lands and forcing the
natives to do labor. The perspective of Agriculture changed it was no longer seen as a source of
food for the local population, nor even as their livelihood but became merely a means to extract
wealth.
Colonialism prevented man from people feeding themselves. Peasants were forced to do
labor and stopped them from producing food crops replacing them with cash crops and then
were acquired at very low rates. And as of today man became dependent on imported food, after
the colonialization man became dependent on the agricultural sector. People stopped having
their own food source and became reliant to the agricultural sector. If man continues to do this
plus the population keeps increasing, one-day people will starve to death because of the reliance
to agricultural sector.
I think it isn’t too late to change, well change starts with yourself. People can start having
a backyard garden or a mini-garden to help the agri-sector even it’s a small step. We should
support the local farmers and not abuse them. It’s very alarming that the number farmers are
decreasing and one day it will lead up to a food crisis.
