"There is great distrust of imported food such as BSE and and GM foods."
Is this sentence understandable?
"Therefore, we have to improve the domestic agriculture."
Is "the" needed here or should it be omitted?
Thank you in advance!

"There is great distrust of imported food because of (things like) BSE and GM foods."
"Therefore, we have to improve the domestic agriculture."
Is "the" needed here or should it be omitted? I wouldn't use "the"; I would say '...our domestic agriculture.' or '...our own agriculture.'
Thank you in advance!
