Abstract

There are a few reasons that can lead to food security issues, such as natural disasters, rising food prices, population growth, climate change, and wars between countries. FAMA is one of the government arms under the Ministry of Agricultural and Food Industries (MAFI) assigned to counter this issue. Indeed, FAMA has put forward some initiatives to balance this never-ending issue, but on the other side of the coin, there still exist imperfections that could hamper the initiative earlier if not dealt with carefully. This editorial note intends to examine the initiative and its shortcomings from the grassroots perspective.
