Global Crisis: How to Feed the World

“Around the world, one in seven people go hungry every day. In total, some 850 million people don't have enough to eat. But what are the causes of the current food crisis?
And can it be overcome?
These are the questions being addressed at a summit of the Food and Agriculture Organization under way in Rome.Food prices have been relatively stable for a long time - but they've been rising over the last three years. Maize, wheat and rice have seen price increases of up to 180 percent. And the explosion in prices has been especially swift in the last two months - with rice going up by 75 percent and wheat by 120 percent.” (Deutsche Welle)

Looking at this information we have to ask ourselves, what are our politicians doing to stop the hunger around the world?

Is our government investing in sustainable agriculture and add politics?

Or is our government more interested to help large cooperation to become bigger, more controlling and wealthier? Shouldn’t we assist farmers around the world to produce better, more efficient and still environmental friendly and sustainable. We do not need all these chemicals as we have thought over the past decades. We are able as scientists have shown able to use natural fertilizer and insecticides. Our government should invest in environmental friendly agricultural research rather than into weapon research.

Think about this!
