DISCUSSION BOARD

As a young agriculturist, enumerate specific issues, problems, and challenges faced by

the agricultural sectors based of the article you have read and suggest specific
solutions that will address these problems.
Agricultural problems are the not enough agricultural land,limited
resources, diminishing varieties,use of artificial alternatives. Lack of funds
came from the Philippines government. Which is our a griculture is dying. The
agriculture is the most important of all professions. However, the problems
faced by farmers are many and are pretty impossible to overlook. Despite this
fact, collective measures are being taken by unions and organizations all over
the world in order to address this issue, and give agriculture its due
importance and attention.The machinery for farming also need to be upgraded
if one intends to see agriculture growing as a capital sector.Until all problems
of agriculture are solved, or at least the crucial ones are addressed, we
 cannot expect agriculture to gain its due status even a couple of decades
down the line.
Our government should provide some funds for the farmer because this is our
main food that we can get. And we cannot export and import for the other
country that have a lot of food because it only loss of money of our country.
Once we have some planted product like trees, corps, vegetables and etc.
The farmers will have bountiful harvest. We should proud to the farmers.
