Explain six ways that the developing countries can use to reduce the problem of food shortages.

- The population growth in these countries should be controlled match the available resources.
- Intensive land reclamation/
irrigation schemes should be undertaken in order to
increase the land acreage for growing food crops.
- Educating people on environmental conservation measures so as to check on desertification.
-People should be encouraged to grow/eat drought resistant crops such as millet, sorghum, cassava etc.
- Pests and diseases that attack and destroy crops and livestock should be controlled by spraying.
- Government should build modern grain storage facilities where harvested food-crops can be protected.
- Extension officers should teach people modern farming methods which will food increase production.
- Each country should have clear land/agricultural policies that can promote self-sufficiency in food production.
- Farmers should be advanced credit facilities in order to improve food production.
- Government should improve transport networks to ensure adequate
distribution of food to areas that have low production
