Writing Task 2: Responding to Survey Questions
Read the following information.
The state government is proposing a new agriculture policy in your state but some organizations are opposing it because they feel, the new policy is against state farmers. Government has sent out an opinion survey to see what residents would like to say on this issue.
New agriculture policy:
Option A: Import cheaper grains and vegetables from other countries.
Option B: Bring in more land under cultivation and support local farmers.
To whom it may concern, In my opinion, the Government must encourage local farmers and get more land under cultivation. Every country needs to be self-sufficient for their needs, and the Government should come with farmer-friendly policies to motivate more people to take agriculture as their profession. Local grains and vegetables have more nutritional value and can easily be consumed by locals. In addition, local produce will take less time to reach consumers and can be naturally ripped. It will keep their nutrition value intact. Every citizen must support local formers by consuming local stuff. Government should allocate more land for agriculture so that more local produce can be cultivated. Importing stuff from other countries should be the last option to fulfil the demand as it is costly and depends on other countries. In the current pandemic, it is crucial to be self-sufficient and produce our food. I strongly recommend the Government implement policies to motivate local farming and endure local consumption.
