Some people suggest that a country should try to produce all the food for its population and import as little food as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In some modern countries,

importation has been under the spotlight for a

while

with an ongoing debate over whether a

country

Use synonyms

should be totally self-reliant on

food

Use synonyms

and simply import a small amount of

food

Use synonyms

. In my opinion, as a complement to the local

food

supply, countries are not supposed to abandon the importation of certain kinds of

food

Use synonyms

. It’s perhaps true in some conditions that foodstuffs from other nations would have a detrimental impact on locals’ health. Generally speaking, in order to guarantee authentic flavour and prevent

decay after long-distance transportation, international

food

suppliers have to add considerable preservations and additives.

As a result

, local residents who consume foreign

on a daily basis would be more likely to suffer from a wide range of ailments including stomachache or slight

allergy.

Additionally

, if an underdeveloped

country

is heavily reliant upon imports of foodstuffs, its financial predicament would be greatly accentuated, and in turn, remaining little expenditure on the construction of public systems.

However

, it’s naturally difficult for us to get an insight into the importance of imported foods in the short period, but in the long run, we would benefit well.

For example

, for a

country

like Japan, which has rapid growth in the economy but limited agricultural lands, there is no option but to purchase

abroad.

Therefore

, imagine that if the

country

shrank or even cut off

this

long-lasting

food

supply method, its national

food

turnover would be impeded as the domestic agriculture industry is incapable of meeting the massive public demands for fresh

food

and

further

, the rising resentment among citizens would eventually overwhelm the national government. In conclusion, the assertion that all the

food

needs to be self-produced without any supplement of imported

food

in a

country

is too hasty, and we will not reap the benefits in the future.

Hence

, it's indeed crucial for every

to be self-reliant on

from different countries.
