TED-Talks zu Landwirtschaft und Ernährung

„3 reasons why we can win the fight against poverty“ von Andrew Youn.
„Half of the world’s poorest people have something in common: they’re small farmers. In this eye-opening talk, social entrepreneur Andrew Youn shows how his group, One Acre Fund, is helping these farmers lift themselves out of poverty by delivering to them life-sustaining farm services that are already in use all over the world. Enter this talk believing we’ll never be able to solve hunger and extreme poverty, and leave it with a new understanding of the scale of the world’s biggest problems.„

„How farming could employ Africa´s young workforce – and help build peace“ von Kola Masha.
„Africa’s youth is coming of age rapidly, but job growth on the continent isn’t keeping up. The result: financial insecurity and, in some cases, a turn towards insurgent groups. In a passionate talk, agricultural entrepreneur Kola Masha details his plan to bring leadership and investment to small farmers in Africa — and employ a rising generation.„

„The other inconvenient truth“ von Jonathan Foley.
„A skyrocketing demand for food means that agriculture has become the largest driver of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental destruction. Jonathan Foley shows why we desperately need to begin „terraculture“ — farming for the whole planet.“

„Leather and meat without killing animals“ von Andras Forgacs.
„By 2050, it will take 100 billion land animals to provide the world’s population with meat, dairy, eggs and leather goods. Maintaining this herd will take a huge, potentially unsustainable toll on the planet. What if there were a different way? In this eye-opening talk, tissue engineering advocate Andras Forgacs argues that biofabricating meat and leather is a civilized way to move past killing animals for hamburgers and handbags.“

„Hunger isn’t a food issue. It’s a logistics issue“ von Esther Ndichu.
„Most people presume that world hunger is caused by a lack of food. But Esther Ndichu, Humanitarian Supply Chain Director at UPS, argues that the real issue is logistics. She points out that farmers often struggle to get goods to market and that food often rots just miles from the neediest people. She explains that by fixing „the last mile“ hunger can be solved in our lifetime.“
