To ensure food security and to make farming viable following measures to be taken immediatly-
1. Crop managment - The farmers should be trained/informed to grow the required grain/ farm product as per demand , It happens most of the time that farmers suffers loss due to excess production of the crop like in past year suger can production has been surpassed the demand hence farmers are making huge loss. It is because they are not given accurate data and status of production.
2. avialability of Electricity/ water - This should be ensured by equal distribution of the electricity in industires, towns and vililage ( for irrigation ) because food is more important.The irrigation facility should be improve without political hardel and expert should be involved in this process.

The quality of the potash based fertiliser shall be strictly checked at distributer lavel . The use of the fertiliser shall be based on soil composition after testing.
