After having carefully gone through the highlights of the V0 draft:
Major omission: the data collection should include metrological approach for crops that is drought monitoring, early warning. The data collection must be given to trained persons. The questionnaire must be very much simplified.
The academic sector should give training and workshops to increase semi-skilled and skilled workers in the food processing industry to address food security, since the food waste level of developing countries is more than 30%. Adequate training in the grain management system is needed.
There is insufficient fund allocation in the national statistical plan.
On nutrition: identifying the native variety of grains and populating the merits to the farmer level for breeding.
