How We Can Feed the World

How about feeding our own people here first. Wake up and smell the coffee. Americans need to have jobs and food on our tables thats not chemically enhanced. ORGANIC. Why is this article even written? Mike Mack must be an imbecile. Hey Mike What about my neighbors? What about American families? Don't they count.

Why? Are we the kitchen of the world? No! If these people cannot create their own infrastructure, then why should we? A country wants to be recognized, then it ahould have the basics required for it to exist, Having starving, sick, and ignorant people does not make you a country. You have bimmped you're head. Have we fixed starvation in our own country? No? When? Ya think ya could start now? Hello!! Are you listening? I am the U.S.A., fix me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It shocks me that this clear advertisement for bio-tech is not label as such. Obviously, much of the "evidence" the CEO provides would have never past editorial fact checking. European resistance to GMO is not simply a politicization of a technology for which its citizens are clambering. European citizens are simply better informed about the sources of their food and have made it clear that they do not want to eat these largely untested "solutions". Americans had GMO products in their grocery stores before anyone had the opportunity to protest. Now that more is known, protests are mounting. I recommend a thorough reading of the real facts on agricultural productivity in the GMO-versus organic debate in the "Organic Agriculture and Food Security in Africa" Report recently released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and United Nations Environment Programme. The report can be found at http://www.unctad.org/en/docs/ditcted200715_en.pdf. Accusing anyone who resists GMO as being against poverty reduction in Africa is presenting a false choice that does not exist.

The need for genetic engineering of our food is due to the over farming of the land, creating vast areas of un-arable land. The use of chemicals to enrich the soil have created a myriad of ills for crops. This is one more attempt to control production of food. Plant hemp in an entire field, and mulch it into the ground. It will amend the soil, and provide fretilizer
and pest control. Not to mention the bio-mass that can be harvested for multiple uses.

How can we feed the world?
Use condoms and prevent pregnancies. How difficult is that?

Better ethics in business, and in governance, will help get more people fed and sheltered on a higher level. Entrepreneurs must help each other become more efficient by sharing knowledge---so that we move society in the direction of "perfect competition" --- which leads to greater economic efficiency.

Ethical capitalism would get the job done in a few years, ie,feeding, clothing, and sheltering everyone. Ethical behavior in free enterprise is currently at a very low level as each capitalist strives to be more weatlthy than his peers. We should alll review the assumptions of perfect (or pure) competition. For the ultimate resource use efficiency, we need information to flow freely---with no one using his market knowledge, or market power, to deny other entrepreneurs of the knowledge they need for greatest efficiency. Of course perfection will never be achieved---but humanity will be better off if we all strive in that direction---toward perfect knowledge. Greed must take a back seat to compassion for fellow man.
