Food Shortage




Knowing the population of the country, the Government needs to decide how much grains are needed per person per day to keep them all fed.  Once this is decided, the Government needs to know how much grains are being produced in the country. How much more farmland needs to be created.
Similar to the Milk revolution, new Farms should be huge tracts of land with mechanized farming to better the yield per acre.

The storage needs in different areas based on the population of that area.

Better ways of storing, to ensure no decay of food grains happen.

Here you will see how food grains and other perishables can be stored scientifically and delivered safely. Stocks stored initially get disposed first, and that brought in later at a later date. (FIFO system)
What is used to accomplish this is a simple Gravity Flow system.
Stocks enter from one end of the warehouse, and exit from the other far end of the warehouse.
By this procedure, no stocks can be damaged due to age, as all stocks get disposed timely.

Every warehouse in the country that is licensed to stock food grains must upload daily status of stocks held. Random checks will help verify the truth. This will ensure No hoarding or Black Marketing happens. Food Ministry can direct movement of food grains to areas of shortage, and help ensure all citizens are fed.
