vue - BBC Future of Food - Part 2: Senegal
Future of Food - Part 2: Senegal George heads out to India to discover how a changing diet in the developing world is putting pressure on the world's limited food resources. He finds out how using crops to produce fuel is impacting on food supplies across the continents. George then meets a farmer in Kent, who is struggling to sell his fruit at a profit, and a British farmer in Kenya who is shipping out tones of vegetables for our supermarket shelves. He also examines why so many people are still dying of hunger after decades of food aid. Back in the UK, George challenges the decision-makers with the facts he has uncovered -- from Oxfam head of research Duncan Green to Sainsbury's boss Justin King. He finds out why British beef may offer a model for future meat production and how our appetite for fish is stripping the world's seas bare.

And again the corrupt EU is taking all of the African fish! #NO2EU # BREXIT we must abolish the EU!

The reason that Grimsby has hardly any fishing boats is because the fishing industry was decimated by the EU. The UK had it's territorial fishing waters, I believe 200 miles off the coast. Now because of the destructive undemocratic corrupt elites in Brussels we have 6-10 miles or something. All of the other nations are in our waters. So the BBC is misleading here! VOTE OUT OF THE #EU ! #NO2EU #BREXIT IF we get out Grimsby will be booming again.

Rich countries getting fat off the backs of poor countries. That disgusts me so much ugh! Supporting local farming is the way to go.

what a pile of s..t is our Earth!

White people eat too much.
-
why does no one mention the real problem is over population
-
what is wrong with people, we don't NEED animal protein to survive, it's even healthier to eat more plant protein. it doesn't result in malnutrition. Veganism can solve all these problems, watch COWSPIRACY and FORKS OVER KNIFES if you don't believe me

Nothing will make you understand the absurdity of biofuels like seeing their efficiencies presented in terms of km/ hectare (or miles/ acre). We have to increase efficiency and decrease consumption (though the former often results in increased consumption). This sort of problem is well suited to regulation in one form or another. Fuel consumption is associated with numerous market failures--externalities that harm the public interest--especially when fossil fuels are given away to any company willing to extract them. It's like robbing from the treasury. (Dare we touch the third rail: population?)
To paraphrase Engels: The bourgeoisie has no solution to the consumption problem. They just move it around. -
The future is lab grown meat & fish.

Also, 'one of the poorest countries in the world' is a cliche.
Never confuse poor people with poor countries. The fact is that especially after the IMF/World Bank's privitatisation/deregulation/free trade/austerity, the people are being robbed of the money from their own natural resources, which go to the transnational corporations, just like under colonialism - this system is called Neocolonialism.
On how even Senegal is not 'a poor country':

Senegal wants mining industry to drive economy
Ana Komnenic | January 28, 2014
French investors pledge billions to help drive Senegal economy Senegalese President Macky Sall | Screenshot from video interview with VOA
Despite holding a wealth of unexploited mineral deposits, Senegal isn't a highly coveted destination for foreign mining companies. But the President of the small west African country is looking to change that.
Speaking to Bloomberg TV from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Macky Sall said he's eager to bring more mining investment into the country; in fact, mining will be one of the country's "pillars of development."
Sall wants the resource industry to help Senegal's economy to expand by an average rate of 7% for a decade.
...
Senegal, one of the most stable African countries according to the World Bank, is a major exporter of phosphate but it's also looking to develop its iron ore, gold and oil industries. These ambitions have so far not translated into economic progress: Between 2002 and 2011, mining and quarrying accounted for less than 1.5% of the country's GDP, according to the African Development Bank Group.
For now, the country has only one large-scale gold mine, the Sabodala deposit owned by Canada's Teranga Gold. Meanwhile, Randgold Resources is in the feasibility stage of its Massawa project.
The government is currently looking for a partner to help develop the Faleme iron ore mine which has estimated reserves of about 750 million tonnes. Sengeal kicked ArcelorMittal out of the project in 2007 because the European company suspended work due to the global economic crisis.
-------
So that is where the money is going - Canada's Teranga Gold, Randgold Resources (South Africa), ArcelorMittal (India). -
There population is growing! Run! Hide! Actually...
a) 'there are more mouths to feed', and more hands to grow more food.
b) most food is not grown for human consumption, it is grown for animal consumption - corn/maize/sorghum/fish to feed to cattle, chickens, etc.
The problem is that population growth is finite, but the greed of the elites who want to own the planet and the universe is infinite.
That is the problem - we have an overpopulation of billionaires. -
This idiot is getting to me. "impressive but" "beef would tumble" vs eating each other? Then there is the "rice and beans every day!" "how boring!" Vs not eating every day? There is "our burgers". Where did he get his sense of entitlement? Certainly not from bonny old England. Let me guess he or his family came from someplace where they eat rice every day. Things are terrible worldwide, but lets not touch our "fish" even if they are going extinct. I would call it double speak. Things are bad and getting worse but lets not change our way of life (until most of the population in England ends up dead?) I thought this documentary was going to be serious about the problems faced worldwide.
