Sara Menker : A global food crisis may be less than a decade away


Sara Menker at TEDGlobal 2017
A global food crisis may be less than a decade away  (transcript)
Summary
This is a great talk and the speaker created a great data that should be more known in the world.
The data shows that we may face a global food crisis less than 10 years later by showing where countries have to import food or can export food and where countries have lands available for agriculture. It's really easy to understand more than before.
Commercialization is important for not only just farmers but also the entire agricultural system. Infrastructure, lower the transportation costs and banking all have to change. Agriculture can create fortunes. It's not at too risky an endeavor.
If all people in the world can change consumption patterns, the vision is not impossible.
We shouldn't let her talk that discussing changing consumption patterns or reducing food waste is unproductive.  We shouldn't be a person who waits for others to change their behavior on your behalf. A global food crisis may be less than a decade away.
