“How
do we feed the world without destroying it?” This is the question
that Mr. Foley discusses in this TED Talk. He talks about the dilemma
with agriculture; that we need it more and more as the years go by
(especially with our population increasing as quickly as it is), but
that it is also destroying our planet. He says that the biggest
burden to the planet is our agriculture and use of water. To solve
this problem, he says that we need to “reduce the controversy,
increase the collaboration,” and explains how we need to use our
crops to feed everyone but reduce damage to the planet at the same
time.
I
really enjoyed this presentation because it made me realize how much
we effect the planet. It made me realize that we really need to do
something now so that we can continue living in the future. I found
this presentation very informative, and I would recommend everyone to
watch it so that we can all get an idea of what we're doing to our
planet.
