Food self-sufficiency ratio targets in White paper

I found a way to increase a self -sufficiency ratio in white paper. It says

To improve the food self-sufficiency ratio, in terms of production, efforts are made to strengthen production/supply systems compatible with changes in domestic and overseas demand and enhance domestic agricultural production bases.

In terms of consumption, efforts are made to deepen the connection between consumers and food and agriculture and collaboration with the food industry.

The world of agriculture is not simple…
