Food security is very important for the constant increase in the production of crops. Practicing agricultural activity will help in improving the health of the public because it tends to preserve food for the time it becomes absent. I will encourage all farmers to engage themselves in food security by storing yams in barns and cultivating crops on a larger scale.
| How does food security affect public health? |

Food security affects the health of the public in many ways and areas because if there is constant food supply and availability, there will also be good health of mind and body. If there is food security, there will be food that everyone can eat to stay healthy.
Securing food will help keep us healthy because, in its absence, we can still consume it to remain in good shape especially when we need such a portion of food, we can require fruits like apples, pineapple, carrots, and cucumbers for consumption but it's not it's harvesting season, this will make such a food/fruits to be few, but with the aid of food security, it will be available for consumption.
|What role do government policies play in food security?|
Government policies play a vital role in food security all over the world.
The federal government of a country can expand agricultural production to meet the demands of imports and exports. They can help make buyers and sellers buy in peace. They also increase food security by making considerations on urbanization, migration, and population growth to comprehend the reserved food and the production capacities, which will help increase food security.
The government can make sure that the produced food is safe for consumption and also help customers in that they are not cheated during the trading practice. They can also aid food security by making sure they are the production of fresh vegetables and fruits for a healthy diet. The government can also aid food security by providing farmers with subsidies to aid the speedy production of crops. Subsidy in agriculture is a nonrefundable implement given to farmers to boost crop production.
|How does climate change threaten food security?|
Climatic factors have a lot of influence on the growth of crops as well as food security. In the case of drought, crops tend to die and lose nutrients because there is no water to ease the free flow of nutrients and properties in the soil to the maturing plant.
The plant, as we know, does not need anything in excess. Whenever the rain falls too much in a particular place, there will be too much water in the soil. This will cause the water to overshadow the nutrients and natural elements required by plants for growth. If it rains too much, it can also lead to splash and gully erosion, which can destroy crops by removing them from the soil.
There is also a case where the sublight can become too much for the crops. If the sunlight is too for the plants, they will become yellowish and then become too dry, which will make the production of certain crops less and also decrease food security in that area.
Growing seedlings in cold places is not advisable because the crops will eventually die because of the cold environment. Most crops require moderate weather conditions to stay alive; this weather condition is mostly found in the North and South Pole.
|Can community gardens improve food security and health? Explain|
Community gardens can aid food security and Health. Let's first of all know the meaning of community gardens.
Community gardens can be defined as an area of land where individuals from the same community work in one accord to cultivate food, livestock as well and flowers. It's mainly located in schools and parks etc.
In community gardens, they are usually fresh produce that contains nutrients that can improve our health status. It also prevents families from hunger and starvation during a pandemic. Consuming nutritious foods through the garden produce can help prevent certain diseases like diabetes, malaria, obesity, and tuberculosis.
| How do cultural factors influence food choices? |
|---|
Cultural factors can also determine the food that you choose to eat. There can be a case where the cultural rules guiding the people of such a locality forbid them from eating 😋 such a meal. This will affect your choice of food. It will make you not to eat that food at all.
In some places, the food which killed the first king is forbidden for consumption. This food is believed to kill the next king and the entire generation to come. In some traditional celebrations like the new yam festival, where yam is the main food for the day if you eat any other food on the festival day, it is considered an abomination. This has affected your choice of food for the day.
