Empathic Understanding | Food Technology - No Need For Hunger @EmpathicUnderstanding | Uploaded November 2017 | Updated October 2024, 58 minutes ago.
Humans produce enough food to feed 10 billion today.
However, about 1/3 of our food production goes to waste.
1 in 9 people are currently suffering from lack of food.
Everyday, about 30,000 children die from preventable causes.
This doesn't have to be. We have the resources and technology to raise the standard of living for all.
In 1800, over 80% of USA's labour was in agriculture.
In 1900, it was under 40%.
Today it's less than 1%.
Worldwide, agriculture still makes up 30-40% of human labour.
Yet, we already have fully automated farms.
Imagine what humanity could accomplish, if survival wasn't the main focus of most people's work.
