vue - 3 reasons why we can win the fight against poverty | Andrew Youn
Half of the world's poorest people have something in common: they're small farmers. In this eye-opening talk, activist 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.

I am sure you realize that the lever example is wrong. There is no place in space to put the pivot of the lever. If you want to move the earth by one centimeter, you may have to push the lever for trillion miles, and you will be dead by that time. Earth is not fixed, constantly moving, etc. Just kidding.
If you cannot solve poverty in USA, then you cannot solve it anywhere else. No lever will work in USA. Capitalism cannot survive without poverty. Capitalism is a bar magnet. The strength of the north pole (richness) is same as the strength of the south pole (poverty). Where you put the red line is meaningless. The US data will show that rich is getting richer and poor is getting poorer. So rich is constantly stealing wealth from the poor. This will happen all over the world. Poverty cannot be removed; it is an integral part of capitalism, and is so by design. -
9:36 by that logic, not to all, but to 50%... just pointing that out, not trying to be negative, loved the talk

his neck is enchanting

I think im just an unsensible, but i don't care about these people in Africa ...welp..

Thank you so much. This is an incredible speech.
-
All this is bullshit. Stop having kids if you're poor.
Overpopulation will end us. -
What I want to know, why do people so poor they who can't afford to feed themselves have children?
-
I think conflating poverty and starvation is not a good idea. The 10% of any group will be in poverty if that's how one defines it. Lack of food is a much better metric, and while I agree that it exists, environmental concerns and opposition to biotechnology on effectively religious grounds are what keep progress from being made on this front.

GM Crops, combined with the Haber process, have already solved the problem of world hunger. Now, we simply have to wait for necessity to overcome prejudice. I, however, do not share the speaker's optimism that it will happen in our lifetimes, but eventually, it will.

Am I the only one who sees the ignorance glooming in the eyes of some of the older men sitting there?
This is the problem that this generation will never overcome. Stuck with stupid role/gener identifications they dont take a single word the presenter says to their heart ...
Its incredible frustrating to see this kind of stuff. -
Truly, lack of will.
-
This is just amazing, Thank you very much.
-
Why not go vegan to end world hunger?
-
Did anyone else noticed that teachers were among the world's poor, that just unbelievable.They should not be there.
-
1:37 - if everyone in the world could understand this (it's not really rocket science, it's basic f***ing biology), there would be a lot less people blaming poverty on 'laziness' and 'lack of grit'

Sign me to lead. To many negative comments here, we can easily make this happen.
