Do you think there are any policies or steps that a society can take to avoid scarcity, at least in terms of supplying all the needs of its population?

Scarcity cannot be prevented and all the needs of a country cannot be meet this is because our supply cannot meet our demand. We have an increasing population everyday of which the available resources cannot successfully cater for all the people available this makes it practically impossible to avoid scarcity.

The available ones are expensive and only people with adequate money can purchase.

Our resources are getting used up everyday this include the non renewable energy sources that cannot be replaced if used up.

A Scarcity cannot be totally prevented because the needs of a country satisfied since supply cannot meet demand.

Due to an increasing population, this created a spike of demand which put a pressure of supply of goods and services.

However, the steps that a society can take to avoid scarcity:

Making optimum use of the resources by determining how much is needed to satisfy the temporary need of time and avoid wastage.
Forming of teams to supervise the use of resources and penalize wastage if any.
Motivating the public to cultivate and grow the necessary resources
