Ma, kivételesen nem a saját írásomat adom közre, hanem egy igen figyelemre méltó cikket, amelyről azt gondolom, hogy mindenkinek olvasni kell. --- Today, an exceptionally not give my own contribution, but also a remarkable article, which I think everyone should read.
A szóban forgó cikk - The article

Népszabadság
Vast areas of the world, many countries are lacking the most basic living conditions for many people. The population is growing rapidly. During one and a half decade and a half times the need to increase food production to keep pace with this. Meanwhile, the developed world is thrown out of the kitchens of the food intake of half, third. It's amazing the waste of the water shortages, rapidly increasing costs of energy and food as well. What is this?
In recent weeks and months has been konfliktushelyzetté mature intercontinental migration crisis. Large crowds of people moved toward coercive forces of various kinds are areas where the daily subsistence seems to be easier. The reasons are basically attributable to three factors: the political environment can not be separated from the economic situation and developments in everyday life situations. Is there water, bread and everything else that is essential for daily subsistence.
The writer of these lines generation of the 1960-70s laughed grandmothers almost maniacal insistence on carrying on the principle that the pantry will always be flour, sugar, salt and a large metal bowl reversed a week of pure water, a shed and three tons of coal and kétölnyi tree. There may still many people who smile at this, the most basic needs of humanity are summarized in this list.
A single strong economic power is willing to deeply ponder on the direction in which the world moves. Undefinable, to more advanced parts of the globe to massively launched in the proportion of migrants move to the everyday deprivation, hunger, lack of basic human subsistence necessary tools and the political situation, armed violence, dictatorship.
There are no data out there that weight can be displayed as a refugee how much of a genuine political refugees, and much of the crowd, which is simply the very start fighting for her life for maintaining the unknown world.
The next thing researchers agree on little, but in almost all of that will be in the near future if global war conflict, the most basic essentials of living will be driven by factors possession. Flour, sugar, salt and water in the pot - as in the days of our grandmothers.
The UN World Food Organization, the FAO, more than ever given the recent alarming data contributed to the spread of hunger worldwide. According to calculations by the end of this year the number is almost certainly higher than one billion of our fellow human beings who are continually deprived of 1,800 kilo calories of food a day specified in the "Statistics as a minimum."
This sad phenomenon has many causes. The evident and climate change only one of these. In the present, the majority of possible intervention support now focus on the financial crisis more difficult, but then there are the transport difficulties related to the aid system corruption and millions of other factors.
In addition, the regions hardest hit by hunger - especially Indians, Chinese, Congolese, Bangladeshis, Indonesians, Pakistanis and Ethiopians to - be supplied to food is expensive. Very.
FPI to a number from the FAO food price, meaning Food Price Index in October 2014 shows a seventy percent higher in value than in 2006. This in itself reduces the giver revel in richer countries, but has increased the cost of delivery and related "showdown" (for example, the mere protection of shipments) as well. It usually costs more for all that is necessary to simply get the food from where it is to where there is not. Meanwhile, the human population is growing rapidly is.Ezzel parallel course should continue to increase world food production is:
2030 is currently in a minimum of one and a half times.
If we map the hunger, the picture is even more alarming. It located in the northern half of Africa's Sahel region, which Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger the entire area, as well as Cameroon, Nigeria and northern Senegal covers. This region has been plagued by severe food crisis. At the end of 2015 it is expected to more than ten million people, largely children at risk of acute malnutrition. The situation is made more difficult by the lack of sanitation, clean drinking water and sanitation problems. The crisis also threatens the functioning of educational infrastructure.
The question arises: what can be done? After all, nothing, from scratch obviously can not live. And this leads to a very difficult question to answer is amazingly difficult to interpret debate.
If humanity wants to live a hundred years from now, you need to eat, and in a few decades for the same growing area twice as many people eltartandó our eyes, as it is today. That the current production-trade, perhaps aid system seems absolutely unsolvable problem.
What could be the solution?
The technocratic science clearly and categorically the so-called new technology provides the solution. The traditional farming yields are far below caloric intake deems necessary in the future extent of other devices must therefore change it. One of these may be genetic engineering, which, however, proponents of the ecological management of the devil held a crime.
The situation is not that simple, of course. The proponents of green thinking mostly emphasize amending the so-called natural growth of direct intervention, ie harmful environmental effects of genetic engineering is the practice, while the other side is that the global increased production can hardly be another tool in the circumstances.
The increasingly intense debate, accusations and counter-accusations incredible, pros and cons will be given. The green movement's main weapon is the "communication", meaning the wider public to raise awareness that traditional farming is good, pipettes new operating methods, however, are harmful. The current domestic agricultural government has embraced this approach, based in part be evaluated, in part controversial aspects.

And this process has been very hard to play a genetic engineering. Do not detailed in the number of spraying other plants handling work can be left out of the application, take more math facts as the final result: In the case of crops (corn, soy) generally mass produced twenty percent of the production costs can be saved with it.
At present this result in tax seed of the five major producing countries overseas each of marketed. It is a competitor of the so-called ecological varieties.
These statistics certainly read in areas where right now - there is food crisis - again.
A key element of revulsion in the new technologies that drive the major distributors money in the pockets of farmers and intricately formulated long-term contracts and chained themselves to the peasant people. There is some truth. A drought-resistant varieties of the multinational distribution company actually passes the users of certain obligations and also expects that in the near future it buy seed technology.

The other major accusation related to the environment. The intensive technologies - ie areas of high-yield, genetically modified crops -the so-called organic cultivation kizsarolják against the ground. The third accusation against modern technology, which regularly appear in the press that foods produced by new production technologies are unsafe consumer point of view.
Scientists involved with this statement on the subject can not do anything, because whatever they say, immediately falling back on their heads for the prosecution: they bought the staff development companies, who prefer to poison the half of humanity to their own pockets, as the hasznuktól they might fall. And last but definitely not least, respectively, there is the suspicion that food production operating principles of biotechnology can only be good for farmers, consumers do not see any use for this.
All of this is difficult to circumvent the technocratic answer adopters data. How many we are? - Ask the question. 7.2 billion? Okay, then, abolish the North and South American, Chinese, Indian and Pacific-GM fields, there replace the conventional production, organic production methods and varieties, and they'll pretty unpleasant results coming out of six billion people get and food, the others do not.
I wonder who will be the responsible politician who dares say this substantive response - at any point of the earth. In office a few years ago for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Minister of the British government, Owen Paterson goes even further. Although somewhat difficult for obvious reasons, but in this case he is at the end of last year, roughly assailed the otherwise legitimate considerations raised green organizations, and almost new colonialism accused the new technologies rigidly secluded countries.
Already, of course, if you do not move out of this situation, having become fed up from hunger.
Will there be? Their developing countries called, of course, already fed up with the from hunger. In the developed world, however, grossly wasted. The majority of the United States average citizens, for example the one hand, much more food is consumed, the optimal quantity was healthy (and you'll have a natural as desired luxury quality Not to mention), on the other hand - often also quite expensive medical help is making use of - significant amounts of money for various cures and trainings, trying to get rid of excess pounds with consumption picked up. The situation is similar in Europe, but - Here Now pay attention! - China is already increasing concern of over-consumption. There is otherwise a gigantic human experiment run-GMO case, since the average Beijing citizen table is almost exclusively GM soy.
But the basic problem is the same. Sword of Damocles over our heads. In the developed world it is too well-fed to the poorer regions in the shrinking global village land mass communication, courtesy of seeing what a waste going to the welfare countries.
Meanwhile, residents of what, for production tools, materials and knowledge-rich areas we try to get stronger védvonalakat build up rather than a substantive response to the ever tensive
question: what if the next, now truly continent-scale migrations and the sole reason to get off because the land populated places now have nothing to eat?
No flour, sugar, salt and water.
None.
None.
