Food crisis that happen is a global issue and we need to solve it immediately. The rise of fuel price and high demands of food are the major factors of food shortages. The food shortages create social problems like, suicide because cannot stand of hunger and poverty, drooping out from school to help their parents, and become malnutrition. The dilemma that people facing between children drooping out from schools or become malnutrition family, and it becomes a trend.

Sustainable land is maybe one of the alternatives, with gardens, a large greenhouse, and chickens, it produces lot of extra food. Other alternatives comes from environmentalists, that have encouraged to buy food from local farmer. To help minimize the pollution, that produced during the distribution from trucks, airplanes, ships, etc.

I think governments across countries should have the right solutions as soon as possible, in order to stop this food crisis that happening right now. Increasing the production of crops and stabilize the world economy must be done by the governments before it becomes worst. People, especially low-middle classes should afford to buy food with government helps, during this food crisis.
