so I stopped calling farmers farmers and
a lot of that you think about what it is
that farmers do grow through the soil
that’s the only thing on this planet
that takes death of decayed and converts
your backs right into fuel part process
it harvest bundles of energy like from a
distance about farmers not really
farmers all their expenses my entire
life I grew up in rural Wisconsin it’s a
virtual Patrick family farms spent the
early part of my career working with
small holder farmers in Asia Africa
Latin America and now living work in
Washington DC spend my days remaining
law makers of the miracle I’m here today
to talk about any global to put our
successes and failures into context and
the remaining generation in particular
that is hero uncle it’s not much and of
this absolutely sir we are we need a
monkey in the fight tent you take a look
at these two headlines world hunger is
increasing next two wars of climate
change world faces unprecedented hunger
as family threatens for countries steven
pinker the renowned psychologist just
recently released his latest book and in
it he describes something called the
availability heuristic this is gonna be
that people tend to estimate the
likelihood of an event by the ease at
which instances come tomorrow
hybrids like this the come Addison works
to eat today a never-ending stream of
pushing notifications to these cell
phones that never ever
if we allow the headlines of the day to
dictate our assessment global hunger
well then we would be overwhelmed by our
because this is what hunger looks like
this is what you’re seeing in the
headlines 20 million people on the brink
of starvation after decades of decline
Global hooker uprising but I thought
maybe a little context because this is
the general trend in hunger over just
the past 10 years we exist just beyond
America at the end of a long line and
slowly but surely bending towards here
this is the number of people who have
died from famine 150 years
again we exist at the bottom of the
graph there that going on the right side
it’s when we look at our progress in the
long arc of human history have we see
just how close we are to ending the
author of Scotland’s drill once wrote
the true test of intelligence is the
ability to hold two contradictory
thoughts at the same time and that is
fundamentally true of global hunger
today because over the past 20 years
we’ve all two hundred billion people on
earth yes people still die from fan but
far further than ever before thanks to
early warning systems and improved
humanitarian responses we have never had
better tools like global hunger don’t we
do today yet the headlines of the day
speak of a rise in the absolute number
of hungry people and unprecedented for
living phantoms and more hungry people
displaced from their homes because
violence conflict and persecution at any
other time since the Second World War
and yet I’m here to tell you why I’m
optimistic because if this fight to end
hunger the modern era football game well
we’d be taking a massive leap into this
in the first quarter we won the battle
against population Tama small
distinguished philosopher prophesized
1798 that food production would not keep
pace with growing population as a result
we see resource competition violent
conflict and mass starvation the
Malthusian select Thomas if they stop
against so called cornucopias in this
work these are people who believed that
human beings been successfully
engineered their way out of the
population tonight now because I’m
standing here today you know that the
court hoping to prevent the idea of we
didn’t die tragically Vakil gates in the
century with my ancestors and nor dennis
ready in fact when maltese wrote his
famous essay the world was home to about
a billion people today we don’t over
seven billion we produce about twenty
five hundred calories for every man
woman and child on the planet in this
first quarter we saw land-grant colleges
established in the united states we saw
the combustion engine replace animal
draft labor on farms and we saw green
revolution through the world generations
after mellitus
this idea of the population law has been
thoroughly debunked but it brought us
into the second part and here the
central challenge in feeding the world
was a natural continuation of the first
if we accept the fact that we would be
growing a growing population the next
logical question is whether we can do it
sustainable
years of industrial agriculture henry to
havoc on our environment in fact the
same technology that we use to fuel our
bombs in the second world war had been
put to work in our fields it can take
thousands of years to develop an inch of
topsoil through natural processes and we
can play with a lot of them in just a
matter of decadent these were incredibly
fragile systems
and we know more about the surface of
the Moon that we do about the 3 feet of
soil directly beneath us and has given
admiral has a great quote that I really
really like he said if you believe that
you can have infinite growth on a finite
planet then you’re either a madman or an
economist and I would have a 20th
century farmer to Memphis but it was
here in the second quarter we started to
appreciate ecological tipping points we
started talking about things like
planetary boundaries we learned that
agriculture was responsible for 25% of
global greenhouse gas emissions that we
were making them to climate change
brought home arson in fact all across
the second quarter the way that we were
feeding was making it immensely harder
to feed you
so we started roll out common-sense
strategies like cover the problem is
here to agriculture we develop new plant
varieties who’s come to netic
engineering not justice for commercial
pesticide resistance like you always
hear but to deal with things like salt
water from sea level rise and drama from
changing rainfall that it was in this
second quarter that we stopped treating
soil and just like that we were in the
third part and here we finally
acknowledge that there’s a link between
agriculture and nutrition and as crazy
as that sounds we have long considered a
proper nutrition as two separate
concepts but thanks for research
researcher the child and maternal health
we learned that the child that doesn’t
receive proper nutrition their first
thousand days from conception to their
second birthday will experience a
lifetime of negative effects physical
emotional and economic so we develop
specialized Vulgate blogs like
Plumpy’nut and can bring a child back
from the brink of starvation in war zone
or after a natural disaster and we
started to fire four or five crops just
look the ones you see here but things
like vitamin a disease so we can take
them out of the ground
this is how closing out the third
quarter we’ve gone from simply trying to
feed the world to try to nourish you and
it cost all three of these ports it has
not been by the immutable laws of
physics that hunger has declined quite
the opposite it’s been through the
unlikely march of human progress against
hunger has it declined naturally someone
had to that was our ancient ancestors
domesticate meatless little presence in
thousand years ago it was Norman Borlaug
developing to work week in the
laboratory in Mexico that the spark the
Green Revolution and it was people like
Senator George McGovern Schieffelin the
idea of World Food Program into reality
this long struggle between humans and
their natural environment human beings
have been putting their dogs in scale so
I’ll say it again we don’t win we ask
ourselves can we end hunger in the face
of population growth and we answer a
resounding yes
we ask ourselves can we end hunger
sustainably in the face of population we
wrote a label and we roll that out
we ask ourselves can we end hunger
sustainably and nutritiously in the face
of population rule and that’s the
mission of the early human beings have
built a doomsday bunker for plant
genetic material in the frozen Arctic
Norman we are harnessing the power of
the Big Data revolution to guide our
tractors of satellite precision and
organizations like the World Food
Program are using blockchain technology
that’s the stuff of Bitcoin and
cryptocurrency to deliver humanitarian
assistance and improve the efficiency of
their supply chain we have thrown
everything that we have and it’s finally
and many neighbors who don’t have been
lost and here in the fourth quarter our
progress in the fight to end hunger has
collided head-on with a rise in global
conflict former deputy director of the
World Food Program Josette Sheeran
what’s wrong hungry people do one of
three things they revolt they migrate
where they don’t and we’re seeing all
three happiness abundance today Darren
has been a dramatic rise in the number
of frantic states around the world so
60% of the world’s hungry people live in
conflict affected countries and 75% of
stunted children given those same places
here’s what’s so critically important
this collision between hunger and
conflict forces us to acknowledge the
political causes of something that we
want or or at least under appreciated
hunger has always been a technical
problem how do we grow more better but
we’ve done away with those technical
barriers vs. reporters in the only
remaining brutal to any cover for good
is abundantly political and so we’ve got
to do two things first we simply have to
spend the dollars to scale up what we
know works
recognizing that investments in global
food security are among the most cost
effective uses of our limited resources
in Israel and second we have to shout
from the rooftops that there is a link
between global hunger in global
instability because once being said that
when security is fundamental to peace
and security we are forced to do
something about it boys we have before
it’s not about doing work than the next
governor and on moral or economic
grounds it’s not about making an
investment in agriculture that’s just to
take the box in the fourth quarter
food security becomes a pillar of global
stability and it absolutely has to
oh brother sign brain was dissected in
1955 now rule wouldn’t find out for
another 20 years or so when the news
broke the science has had been secretly
studying Einstein’s brain museums of
universities around the world
flocked to get a piece of magic but a
business debater
renowned paleontologists quietly
recorded this instead of somehow less
interested in weight and convolution of
Einstein’s brain but in the near
certainty of people of equal talents
have lived and died in cotton fields and
sweatshops I think about this because an
even greater number of people have died
from hunger and here’s what I know to be
true the next big idea that changes the
course of humanity the next Einstein
maybe come from an unsuspecting place
but it will not come from the mind of a
childhood star the ER the sterile
hundred generation we are the first
generation in human history capable of
watching hunger stop and think about
what that means in practice because
human beings event on this planet for
150,000 years and for the first one
hundred and forty nine thousand nine
hundred and fifty the baseline condition
for our species has been poverty hunger
and desperation and if here you are its
twenty eighty you’re in an auditorium in
Dallas you’re fully aware of the problem
when you have all the tools that get the
job done in the long arc of human
history when we choose to take that a
critical step back you see the world has never
