Speakers at a seminar arranged by the Punjab Food Department (PFD) in connection with the World Food Day stressed the need to revolutionize the agriculture sector to ensure food security. The current government imposed an 'agricultural emergency' to improve agricultural and nutritional status of the country besides well being of the farmers who were badly neglected during the past regime.

According to Prime Minister Imran Khan's vision, the agriculture department of Punjab is taking all steps to protect masses from the food shortage. Pakistan is ranked 106th among 119 countries in the world facing food shortages.
