I am from India .Here we have surplus food and we are exporting yet some people are starving. A very good strategy 1. Local production and distribution (locally grown for local) is good in terms of cost, time, nutrition etc. 2. Energy intensive food processing and storage techniques have to be replaced with traditional methods 3. Developing agricultural technologies for small farmers 4. Strict measures against the wastage of food

As someone who has been engaged in local food production since 2007 I can say unequivocally the greatest hurdle we face in the developed world is banking and financial institutions. Small scale agriculture is not, as of yet, a highly profitable enterprise, but it requires a great expense in time and labor. How can those of us who are interested in producing food locally do so when Land prices are to high to afford outright ownership of and profit margins are too low to support mortgage payments. The market gardens and small farms go to be replaced with vacation homes. This has been my experience. Legislation and Law move to slowly and are written without the interests of the individual or planet in mind.

Sure - that's what local food systems entail, and the evidence suggests this will work well for our horticultural needs. But back-yard gardening, roof top gardening (etc.) can't produce anything like our requirements for grains or proteins without large scale land clearance and/or huge rises in food prices. So my reading of the current research on the topic is we're likely going to have to depend on our breakbaskets for a long time to come and even if we wished it otherwise...Cheers! Evan

The Zambia example at the beginning doesn't account for the fact that it's 60% rural, similar to most other Least Developed Countries, so the cheaper food, (look at 2005!) means lower farm prices, less income form farming economies, and thus the poverty that causes hunger. The later, more expensive example, represents fair trade prices, which they need. The bigger problem is the lowering of global prices by the US since 1953, with 1980-2013 being below full costs for wheat, cotton, barley, oats and sorghum, and for 1981-2006 add corn, rice and soybeans. 6 decades of decline (cheap) created this dilemma, not a few years of fairer trade.

So, on day two we tried to correct for this but didn't have the opportunity of going back over the first day's images. So, yup, you are spot on for noticing this and I'm embarrassed I wasn't more on top of this issue earlier in the process.

We need better support for smaller crops, such as those that make up a Resource Conserving Crop Rotation (ie. oats, barley, rye) instead of just big money for corn and soybeans. We need better support for the solutions that don't require dependence on megatechnic (Lewis Mumford) solutions, which make us dependent upon the agribusiness power complex (ie. agribusiness input & output megamachine). See adds in organic farming publications.

By the way (see below) Zambia was nearly 90% rural in 1950, just prior to the lowering of farm prices, so the rural crisis which has exploited global farmers for 6 decades in connected to the crisis for Zambia's urban citizens. They too depend on the farm economy, and many of them (3/4?) were families run off of their farms, (just like an even higher percentage of US farmers, and for the same reasons).

They make many citations to academic articles and government reports, which I am sure you can appreciate as an academic. See the "food mythbusters" website, which I unfortunately can't link to in the comments. Don't play into large corporations' schemes. They mean well, I'm sure, but it's just a bad way to farm.

Dr. Fraser, I appreciate your devotion to this issue, but I am afraid I disagree with your approach. I would reverse the bit about local places as buffer zones when foreign imports are a problem. Why should we grow food where we live, ship it away, and then have other people grow food where they live, and ship it here? It makes more sense to make local food production the primary source of one's food, and I believe it is quite doable. Every community can support themselves.

Pretty much. The banks running around with our money wasn't a case of lack of regulation. It was a case of the government regulation providing protectionism to the fat cats. He said the criticisms of the four steps were not universal. So was the 1992 crisis. The moment I heard about the Pharaoh taxing grain and more regulation, I instantly remembered that we have struggling farmers who can barely afford to run their business right now.

This is a great video. Unfortunately, it only brushes over a large obstacle - people's greed for money and power. It advocates for more government regulation (we need more!?) to ensure that corporations aren't just lining their pockets by making food the next major market. Many things have to change in the US (and worldwide) before this could be successful. Currently, big corporations are able to lobby our government due to our debt-based fiat currency. Overall, it's a great idea in theory.

There just isn't enough land to decentralize agriculture like that. Billions of people live in apartments or only have small plots. Look into how much acreage is occupied by factory farms that enabled such a large population to begin with, mostly via cheap oil for fertilizer, planting, harvesting and global transport. Oil gave the illusion that food was much easier to grow in bulk than it really is.

Modern agriculture is the use of land to convert petroleum into food. Peak oil is happening right now. After peak oil, oil production will decline for the whole world. And since our food production is totally reliant on oil, food production will decrease when oil production decreases. That's because in the industrialized world 10 calories of fossil fuel energy are expended to produce every calorie of food. We use natural gas to produce commercial fertilizers, and oil to power the machines used for growing food. The entire food system is utterly dependent on fossil fuels. When fossil fuels go into decline, so will food production. And when food production declines, the population will also decline. I doubt there will ever be 9 billion people by 2050 because by 2050, world oil production would already be in significant decline. The only reason we can feed our current population is with fossil-fuel based agriculture. If you take away the fossil fuels, you take away the food, and by taking away the food, the population goes away. It is that simple. And since fossil fuels are going to go into decline in the next couple of decades, we are about to face an agricultural crisis of unimaginable proportions. This agricultural crisis will result in quite literally billions of people starving to death around the world.

GMO is the answer. As world environments becomes tougher, we'll have to modify our crops and animals to better withstand that environment. And eventually we'll have to modify ourselves to live in an increasingly hostile and dangerous world. The political will for devolving isn't high and agriculture in its "natural/organic" state cannot support as many humans as there are now, perhaps between 500 million to 1 billion people. Where does that leave the excess populations of 6 billion (today and 8 billion by 2050)?

Which then requires more chemicals and stronger ones to get rid of said weeds. again the farmer gets the debt for that while Monsanto gets the subsidies and tax cuts.

An excellent tool for communicating your research/arguments and a moving call to action. I find the depictions of scientists/farmers as men until late in the video disappointing, esp. given the crucial, multidimensional role women play in food security. UN Women estimates that women compose 43% of the ag. labour force in developing countries and that giving them equal access as men to ag. resources could increase production on their farms by 20-30% and reduce hunger by 100-150 million people.

You feed their families, they make more people who don't work. Starvation in the third world is what keeps their people from overpopulation.

Unfortunately, whenever population control has been tried it rarely does anything in terms of population growth - but what it does do is result in a huge number of "missing women" (usually gender specific abortions, female infanticide, daughter neglect). The current figure of "missing women" due to population control policies is about 60 million...So I don't think the evidence supports population control as a viable strategy no matter how intuitively obvious this seems. Thanks for commenting!

I hope you're right! I guess the key question is whether we'll evolve in a way that doesn't result in mass suffering in the transition?

every huge problem has a simple solution: do not replace food with meat and give ppl a backyard and help them to share their knowledge and love to get a life in harmony with nature

"Duress" means suffering. How much duress before perish? The technology is there for human to survive. Cultures and morality will have to change for human to cooperate and make the world live-able for all.

Is this video made by monsato or the United nations? Alot of warm fuzzy feelings here. It is definately not this simple when people are spraying chemicals all over us all and stopping food growth and doing weather modification.

Why don't all people also start to grow stuff in their own yard or in pots, surely that would also help

As the need for food continues to grow with the demographic mega-trends of population growth and increase demand from an expanding middle class, the challenge to business will continue to become more complex. The Malaysia Global Business Forum has assisted many companies & associations expand their market share into the Malaysian, ASEAN and broader Asian markets www.MalaysiaGlobalBusinessForum.com

Wouldn't it just be better to 1.) Use robotic means for near all farming. 3.) Use more efficient farming techniques, like the native American technique that grows corn, and has beans wrap around it, and another type of plant at the bottom that all use different nutrients and puts other nutrients in. 2.) If it's land that's the issue, then just build farms above farms, led lights (or just efficient building usage) could make the plants grow, no pests destroy the crops, it is highly nutritious, we can regulate the temperature, making food grow twenty four seven etc.
