Future of Food

Global Poverty Eradication can only be achieved and maintained with a collective investment to feed the population. There is an obvious opportunity and a serious need to fuel the human condition; mental and physical health, religious and social behavior into a skilled and productive workforce. Nutritious affordable food, widely available, skillfully processed and scientifically produced, is essential toward achieving sustainable development. The public health bills, incorporating nutrition and wellness habits as well as pharmaceuticals and medical treatment, can and must be reduced through involved policy decisions. The World Food Bank must lead in this effort to negotiate and implement strategic agreements.


Crop and livestock farming, fishing, and hunting, sources of food has never change. Crop farmers are focused on yield per acre, security and quality, time between harvest, crop availability and pricing. Livestock farmers are also focused on productivity, the health and safety of the animals, including birds and farm fish, time to market, meal cuts supply and demand. Fresh raw food catch via fishing and hunting are more vulnerable to disease and depleting stocks level due to overfishing and overhunting. Efforts to guide public, private partnerships, to scientifically produce fresh raw food effectively and efficiently, is required for profitability and sustainability.

Processing food and medicine, to meet market demands and feed the world, is where most of mankind's innovation has and must take place. Biochemists, nutritionists, food technicians and chefs, are all highly trained and passionately involved in modifying, combining, preserving and presenting such nutrients for human consumption. Modifying compounds at a cellular level, combining various raw materials to address health and wellness issues, packing fresh fruit and vegetables, developing activity treatments, with minimum side effects, medications, and basic nutritious cheap fast food, to benefit all people, is the goal. Hence, aiming the essential future innovation to evolve and ensure populations are well fed to output the highest levels of energy, leading to enlightenment.

Distribution and ownership structures of such nutrients to populations, in poverty who cannot afford current prices, is where most adjustment is needed to meet the ultimate goal. Clearly, getting fresh and process ingredients, healthy foods and widely approved remedies, medications to market, at affordable transportation costs, is crucial. Ownership of food and medicine, at all stages from supply towards consumption, causes unnecessary price hikes to satisfy shareholders' dividend policies and promises, instead of managing prices to maintain affordability. The fewer or one level of ownership, engaging regulations and public share trading markets, will better control food and medicine cost and prices.

Nutrition, a tasty healthy economically viable basic public diet, deliver to selected identified and qualified groups via school feeding, chronic disease and other social programs, which would reduce poverty and heighten productivity. Foods that are tasty attractive, appealing and meets all dietary measures, and medications that address treating and healing needs and, of course, works, purchased in bulk, prepared and delivered, free to vulnerable persons, by regulated license local operators. While, ingredients and remedies that are fresh or processed, transported under temperature controlled condition or using other methods to preserve, and lands and equipment that are leased or purchased, to maintain economies of scale, should be all owned by the said population.
