Connectivity: Part of the food revolution
Hunger has been a problem that the world has faced throughout time, and the problem is not only getting worse, it has reached epic proportions in places you would ever imagine, like in Europe and the US.
But this program is not just about hunger: it covers the food you choose to eat, and the systems that deliver it, through what’s called connectivity, and that is because putting good food on every plate depends on trade, technology, communication and collaboration in an interconnected world.
There was a study done for the forum, which posed a question, I know, more questions, but this question is enough to raise anyone’s curiosity: the question that the study asked: What do elections, cell phones and social media have to do with the food on your plate?
First, the challenge of feeding the world: there are 8.5 billion people in the world, and the way that this population gets food will be obsolete in the not-so-distant future.
So why the worry now? Because there has been a shift in geopolitics: the world is growing more geo-politically disconnected. Globalization is on its way down: there is a reverse in course. We are reversing course. Countries, especially ones that led global trade are turning their attention inwards, giving more importance to domestic concerns.
