This is basically an issue for nations that are extremely agricultural, and in fact I took a queue from the US. Hope you enjoy :3c
(tell me what you think of option 6; it's by far the weirdest option here.)
Draft 1.13
Title: More Food Than We Know What To Do With
The Issue: @@NAME@@ has a massively successful agriculture sector, supplying food and financial success throughout the nation. However, as farming season is about to come back around, your Minister of Agriculture noticed that there's still so much food available that there'll literally be no room for all of next season's crops, with unwanted remains being used for food fights and building useless, stinky mountains.
Validity: Nation has a very strong agricultural sector at least partially kept afloat by subsidies
Option 1: "While this productivity is a dream come true, we sadly must trim it down," begins your Minister of Agriculture, looking at a 'potatoes × time' chart. "We need to discourage these farmers from producing too much food. Increase the price of equipment, decrease the land farmers may use, and allocate some of our subsidies elsewhere. We can then use the extra space for more urban development and, most importantly, new food storage."
[effect] rural farms are converting some of their land into ten-story shopping malls selling only grain
Option 2: "What are you talking about?" worries your Chief of Global Progress, showing you an 'international wealth gaps × time' chart. "This food could be used to save the starving children of foreign countries, like Tasmania, Bigtopia, or the United Federation! Sure, we'd be losing a bundle of money, but it's better than letting this all go to waste!"
[effect] food gifted to other nations is often times used for food fights
Validity: Must not have autarky
Option 3: "Better my butter!" exclaims your Minister of Finance, tightly gripping a '@@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ × time' chart as if it were threatened. "We should definitely give to other nations, but not for free! You should encourage trade overseas in exchange for expensive goods that we don't specialize in over here. Just you wait until @@REGION@@ tastes what we have to offer!"
[effect] food is traded for even more food with lower quality
Validity: Must have autarky
Option 4: "Better my butter!" exclaims your Minister of Finance, tightly gripping a '@@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ × time' chart as if it were threatened. "We should definitely give to other nations, but not for free! You should open our economic barriers and encourage trade overseas in exchange for goods that we're currently lacking. Just you wait until @@REGION@@ tastes what we have to offer!"
[effect] food is traded for even more food with lower quality
[Flag Change] Autarky is removed
Option 5: "Why are you so focused on using this stuff as food?" questions @@RANDOMNAME@@ of the "Yellow is the New Black is the New Green" environmental group, displaying a tiny 'carbon emissions × time' chart. "We could make our farmers produce loads of corn that could then be turned into ethanol, cotton to be turned into biodegradable clothing, and trees to help fight deforestration. I can't think of anything better!"
[effect] petroleum and shaving cream have been replaced with cotton and candy
Option 6: "Or, you could make everyone eat more!" proposes moustachioed local pizza pagoda manager and Pizza Cult member @@RANDOMNAME@@, reading from a 'pizza converts × time' chart. "Everyone'll be comin' to places like mine all the time! It'll be a dream come true, and fulfill the prophecy of His Immaculate Munchiness! I mean, fill the stomachs of @@NAME@@! Simply delicious!"
[effect] globglogabgalabs are causing a deficit in the supply of tomatoes
