Since the beginning of time agriculture is what make it possible for humans to thrive and evolve. Currently, every nation grows some of their basic needs and buy from other places the rest.
However
Linking Words
, there are some individuals who believe that each country should produce their own
food

in almost totality. I tend to disagree with that statement because it is either impossible or economically silly.
Firstly
Linking Words
, some types of crops only grow in specific environments, which would be expensive to replicate.
In other words
Linking Words
, some kinds of
food

only thrive in cold weather while others need a warm climate and water.
For example

that have extreme weather would have to build controlled environments to achieve

.
Therefore

, the prices would rise substantially because replicate different climates is too expensive.
Secondly

is impossible.
This

is because the country would have to build farms where there are houses or technology companies now. Take Japan as an example.
This

nation lacks land and to be able to grow most of their

they would have to destroy their technology factories to give space for crops.
Nevertheless
Linking Words
, there is not enough land to be sustainable in the long term. In conclusion, I totally disagree that all nations should stop import

.
This

is because in places where it is possible the prices would rise exponentially and in other

is impracticable.
Thus

this

would make our world retrocede in time as most

would be worried about agriculture.
