It is believed that countries should not spend their money on importing food as much as they can and it is suggested that they should meet their people's food demands by themselves. In my opinion, recent technological advances have abled countries to import their needs cheaper and easier and now it is unnecessary to produce with a high cost to avoid importing. Moreover, there are dozens of food materials that cannot be planted or produced in certain areas based on their climate and by communication, it is highly achievable to have access to all of them.
