1.0 ARTICLE SUMMERY
In Malaysia, making a consistent food sustainably and security has become the main focus on
creating a developed country. But alas, there will always issues that arises where the government
will be responding to it based on the circumstances. To summarize this article, it is titled “Food
Security and Sustainability: Malaysia Agenda” which was written by seven authors, Tapsir Serin,
Engku Elini Engku Ariff, Roslina Binti Ali, Noorlidawati Ab Halim, Mohd Hafizudin Zakaria,
Hairazi Rahim and Rosnani Harun. This article was taken from “Malaysian Applied Biology”
where it is basically to research regarding on the agri-food direction or MARDI to be exact, on
retaining or improving the food sustainability and security in this country. This article emphasized
on finding which part of the issues need to be strengthen using the technologies and innovation
that can be used to help solving such issues. The article used the correlation between the climate
change in Malaysia and the agenda using rice production as the production values. All of this will
be used to sustain the food system and achieve the development goal that is needed to develop
Malaysia.
2.0 CRITICAL ANALYSIS
2.3 Climate Change as a Complex Environmental Problem
As we all know, global warming has become apparent as time goes on. The volatility of global
warming to the climate change as can cause but more unpredictable and intensive weather event,
for instance much worse drought, sudden rain outburst and such. Based on (NEGRA, 2020),
sudden outburst of climate change can only cause a negative impact on the agriculture which will
always take a toll to the food sustainability. To put it simply, if a backup plan were not to be made,
the toll on food production will be severe. Not only that, these impulsive climate change will also
cause the structural and supply side in nature to become a problem, where the hazard may destroy
the environmental land where the corps or rice is produced. This can lead to a chain reaction where
labor will lose their job and the capital becoming much more scarce to the agriculture and food
production. At the end of the day, climate change cannot be stopped as it is nature by default. The
only thing that can be done to sustain food sustainibility and security is to adapt depending on the
situations.
4.0 CONCLUSION
To conclude the basic premise on what the article is achieving, it first tells on what exactly is the
importance of both food sustainability and security. The existance of food secuirity can helps to
attain the demand of the people to sustain the safety of food safety of its preferance and dietary
need. But to achieve that it is also tied to how can we sustain it in the agriculture territory. Thus
finding such problem will help on developing the counter-measure that can done without affecting
the well-being and ability of the future generation.
