Unsustainable Agriculture In Malaysia

DUE to the global climate anomalies and the Covid-19 pandemic, the food supply in Malaysia is facing disruptions while food prices have skyrocketed. The government must address the issues of unsustainable agriculture and flawed food safety policies to prevent the unstable food supply from impacting low-income groups and unsustainable agricultural development from causing irreversible damage to the natural environment. Malaysia’s food policy is facing huge challenges, among which the most urgent is the skyrocketing global food prices. When the food supply is inadequate and unstable, the low-income groups will inevitably bear the brunt, while the middle class will also suffer from the increasing basic costs of living.
