The Future of Food and Seed Vandana Shiva. “The Great Feast” – TEDxOxbridge. This is the transcript from my talk at TEDxOxbridge last weekend.
If you a have a phone, take it out and hold it up. This device makes us magicians: At any time, from any where, we can know almost ANYTHING that is known to mankind. Ok – hands down. But what is truly extraordinary about this device… … is that this man has one too. He uses his to get stock updates – but his reminds him when to check his cows for diseases.
He also tweets questions to the regional vet, shares tips and information with other farmers, knows the local and international market prices for his produce, and when you buy from him… you can pay him by SMS. There are 650 million people with a mobile phone in Sub-Saharan Africa, and even though only half of them have access to clean water or sanitation, they all have better mobile access to more information than Bill Clinton did when he was President. The world is changing quickly. Everything is secondary to food. That’s true of society, too. Food is one of these multipliers. Willie Smits: How to restore a rainforest.

TheGatesNotes Bill Gates. I don’t often get to say that I toured Europe with a rock star, but that’s what happened last week when I spent time in London and Paris with Bono.
In our meetings with government officials, our message was this: Europe’s support of overseas development assistance is saving thousands of lives and is a tremendous example for other donor countries. In Paris, we met with France’s new president, Francois Hollande and his senior ministers for finance, foreign affairs, and development. It was fantastic to hear President Hollande affirm his dedication to continuing France’s leadership in aid. In London, we met with the new secretary of state for international development, Justine Greening, who oversees the UK’s Department for International Development, which has been a great development partner. And I can’t say enough about Prime Minister David Cameron’s leadership on aid. Jan Bommerez @ Energiedag MKB Krachtcentrale 2010. The promise of co-intelligence: Jan Bommerez at TEDxNijmegen 2013. Energiedag 30 nov 2010, presentatie Jan Bommerez. Dr. Alan Watkins - Being Brilliant Every Single Day (Part 1) The Shock Doctrine.
In THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically.
Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America’s “free market” policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries. At the most chaotic juncture in Iraq’s civil war, a new law is unveiled that would allow Shell and BP to claim the country’s vast oil reserves…. Immediately following September 11, the Bush Administration quietly out-sources the running of the “War on Terror” to Halliburton and Blackwater…. After a tsunami wipes out the coasts of Southeast Asia, the pristine beaches are auctioned off to tourist resorts.... New Orleans’s residents, scattered from Hurricane Katrina, discover that their public housing, hospitals and schools will never be reopened….
