The Quest...!






While taking a Bird's Eye Review (literally!) of the Only Livable Planet known to us, as we humans changed its Natural Geography, Topography and Terrains to suit our 'needs' and continue to do so every passing minute, Jonathan Foley tries to put it in a perspective in his quest to find the answer to the one and only question of survival on this planet -



"As the world grows by several billion more people, We'll need to double, maybe even triple, global food production. So where do we go from here? We need a bigger conversation, an international dialogue. We need to invest in real solutions: incentives for farmers, precision agriculture, new crop varieties, drip irrigation, gray water recycling, better tillage practices, smarter diets. We need everyone at the table. Advocates of commercial agriculture, environmental conservation, and organic farming... must work together. There is no single solution.

We need collaboration, imagination, determination, because failure is not an option. Yeah, so we face one of the greatest grand challenges in all of human history today: the need to feed nine billion people and do so Sustainably and, Equitably and, Justly at the same time protecting our planet for this and future generations. This is going to be one of the hardest things we ever have done in human history, and we absolutely have to get it right, and we have to get it right on our first and only try..."

If we fail Mother Earth, She will fail us in reciprocation; Let us face it together...!

Way to go...
