Family land use: this is the way families use their land through government policies and incentives like subsidies. Families should be encouraged to have at least a sizable portion of land under food crops. This would to lead to food sufficiency for households that would eventually lead to national food sufficiency
Infrastructural development: infrastructure is the development of transport, communication, storage, marketing, banking and credit facilities. These should be improved to link the farming areas to the towns that provide market for the produce, machinery and inputs
Reforestation programs. This is the aspect of planting more trees to check the rainfall pattern especially where wanton deforestation has taken place. This will check desertification
Environmental conservation measures: this refers to the protection and conservation of water catchment areas. The building of gabions and terraces to check soil erosion and proper utilization of land can lead to increase in food production like strip cultivation
