#people #background #cities #work #e #consequences #offer
In search of jobs, many countryside residents are moving to cities.
As a result
, farms and households are abandoned, which leads to a decrease in agricultural production, and provokes
further
 growth of the urban population. The solution to
this
 phenomenon might be investments in the agricultural sector, including tax benefits.
To begin
 with, mass migration of farmers to metropolitan areas triggers less use of farmland and a drop in agricultural products.
Thus
, there might be fewer fruits, vegetables, and grains produced, which causes a decline in the quality of products and the price rise. That aspect is quite sensitive for all people. There is a high chance that it will stir public dissatisfaction and depressive mood.
That is
not to mention
, that increasing city population escalates issues that have already been existing in urban life, including traffic problems, lack of space, high rent, unemployment, etc. To address the issue, the government should provide financial support and investments into the development of agriculture and related areas, which are infrastructure and facilities like healthcare and education. That will stop or slow down families with children from moving from villages into towns.
Moreover
, loans with zero interest rates might be suggested to farmers, who would like to buy land for agricultural needs or start farming. Tax reductions might be offered to those who integrate innovations into farming and create new workplaces. These measures might stimulate people to stay in the countryside and proceed with horticulture.
To conclude
, a reduction in the number of rural inhabitants has the most unpleasant consequences like desolation of lands, lack of food because of it, and continuous overpopulation in cities,
however
, these might be solved by the financial involvement of the government.
