The second half of the year, October 16, is World Food Day.

This year's Food Day theme is "Family Farming: Feeding the World, Caring for the Planet."

The theme of family farming is to raise international awareness of the important role of family farming and smallholder farmers in ensuring food security.

In recent years, although overall progress has been made in reducing hunger, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations pointed out that there are still huge gaps between developing and developed countries, as well as between continents and regions.

Although the overall progress is obvious, in developing countries, about 1/8 of the population suffers from chronic hunger.

According to the latest report "The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2014" published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the number of hungry people in the world is continuing to decrease. From 2012 to 2014, it is estimated that about 805 million people suffer from chronic food shortages.

And that doesn't include those who are suffering from vitamin deficiencies, undernutrition and other forms of malnutrition, which in total may be approaching 3 billion people - about half the world's population - suffering from food insecurity.

However, through the efforts of all countries in the world, this tragic figure has decreased by more than 100 million people compared with the previous decade, and 209 million people less than that in 1990-1992.

Among them, the number of food-deprived people in China alone has decreased by 138 million.

But there is one area where the data performance is very dazzling.

Africa.

There is a contrast between the natural endowment of agriculture in Africa and the state of food security, and the per capita food production has continued to decline in the past 30 years.

In fact, the soil, sunshine, temperature, etc. in large areas of Africa are very suitable for agricultural development and food cultivation.

Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for almost half of the world's undeveloped land, more than 200 million hectares, about 26.4% of the world's arable land, and 12% of its water resources.

However, Africa is the only region in the world where per capita food production has been declining for nearly 30 years.

Why does this seem unbelievable to many?

To put it nicely, Africa's agricultural productivity is low, and most of them are small-scale farmers with women as the main labor force.

To put it uglier, it means that the people over there are very lazy.

The land in Africa is so fertile, and the fruits and wild animal resources given by the land are rich, so that for hundreds of thousands of years, they have developed a character of indolence and dislike of labor.

You can sing and dance without worrying about food and clothing. Why do you work hard?

But what was the population of Africa back then?

Today, Africa is one of the fastest growing regions in the world.

The ecology of Africa has also undergone significant changes, and the flora and fauna have become less and less.

However, the local people who still live in the past still have the old way of thinking and the original slash-and-burn method, which makes the land utilization rate extremely low.

Even the vast majority of African countries refuse to put money into agriculture.

Because the profit of the food industry is very low, and the industries with high profits are many.

It has to be said that during the period when European colonizers ruled Africa, a single economic crop-based planting system was implemented in Africa.

Crops with high economic value, such as cassava, sisal, peanut, oil palm and cashew cocoa, were promoted, but food crops were ignored.

The reason is that African diseases, insect pests, bird damage, etc. are very serious. It is easier to plant nuts with shells and odorous fruits, or underground fruits.

They monopolized the best agricultural resources, exchanging the continent's fertile soil for a steady stream of dollars.

As for food, just import it.

The African continent is the world's largest "grain importing continent", and supermarket shelves are even full of imported grains.

Moreover, the continuous local conflicts and droughts are superimposed, which has dealt a fatal blow to Africa's already fragile agriculture.

Yet, even under such deadly circumstances, many African countries have not woken up.

The agricultural infrastructure is horribly poor, with no basic concepts of water conservancy and irrigation...

This made many Chinese experts who came to inspect and aid them couldn't help but say "pity".

A very classic example is that Chinese food experts found that the local people had no concept of planting the grain seeds they had finally aided in the past.

They directly ate the precious high-quality grain seeds, and then eagerly waited for the next batch of aid...

Simply bizarre.

But there are still people in Africa who understand.

Wakanda, in the King's Hall, Wakanda King T'Challa and Prince T'Challa are receiving a special guest——

The representative of Rendehui, the world's most famous environmental protection public welfare organization, is the president of the African branch of Rendehui, a young black man named Jack Wood.

This King's Hall, of course, is not the one in the protective shield that is as advanced as future technology.

Externally, Wakanda is the poorest farming country in Africa.

Therefore, their external king's hall does not look very imposing.

"Your Majesty Tchaka, our Rende will come with sincerity... I believe you should have some understanding of our consistent style."

The current Jack Wood is not the thin and unremarkable black boy of the past. As the exclusive representative of the African-American affairs of the Rende Society, he has been fully trained.

At the same time, since Oaks explained that he would study Wakanda’s affairs a long time in advance, Oaks’s training direction for him was indeed carried out according to the standard of the branch president.

Thinking of his friend Dane Whitman, who had completed the construction of the European branch together with the president, Jack felt a fiery feeling in his heart——

At his level, he has the authority to know the deep secrets of the Rendehui.

The president is playing a big game of chess——

This will concern the future of all human beings, and even all living things on the planet.

And he will also become the leader of one of the five chapters of the business pillar, shouldering a heavy responsibility, but at the same time giving him an unparalleled sense of pride and mission.

"His Majesty the King already knows about the food pilot situation we have conducted with Sokovia in Eastern Europe, and this is absolutely confidential both at the level of Sokovia and our Rende Society...

Because we have to avoid the rude interference of 'intelligent people'. "

"The U.S. government..."

Tchaka, who was wearing glasses, put down the materials in his hand, and the shock of these materials to him was enormous.

The famous Rendehui, in fact, Tchaka has long been interested in them.

However, it would be better to say that the special interest is the president of the Rende Society, the Druid of the Avengers.

That kind of magical transformation magic, especially the cool starlight leopard form, makes the whole Wakanda very interested.

"Your president also won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but now you are so protective of the U.S. government?"

Tchaka looked at this "compatriot" with interest--

African-Americans are also African-Americans, not to mention the origin of this little guy is not a secret. With Wakanda's technology and intelligence level, Jack's ancestors can be dug up for generations.

"The current food crisis in Africa is inseparable from the European colonists, and those Americans are doing more ruthless than the Europeans. This is something that all countries know well but are powerless to resist."

Jack looked solemnly at the king of this small African country that, although known as the "poorest country", was the only small African country that had never been ruled by colonizers.

"One-fifth of Americans' garbage is discarded food, and here, our countrymen are still starving...

There are many factors that affect this, but now, we want to use our own technology to solve this problem. "

He tried to remember when Steve was speaking, and although he was Captain America, he was also their head of security, Mr.

"Your Majesty, the Rende Society has not been a narrow-minded organization since its inception.

Our President Oaks even established Oak Tree Environmental Technology Company, in order to solve various problems of the global environment with the core of science and technology and the action force of our Rendehui.

The food problem, although many politicians politicized and economicalized it, is undoubtedly a very serious environmental problem——

The process of food production is also a process of consuming society and natural resources, and also a process of polluting the environment.

Optimizing food production and obtaining more and better food in a more natural and harmonious way is our goal. "

Jack fearlessly faced the sharp gaze of the king who didn't seem to be a small remote country at all, and earnestly expounded the philosophy of the Rende Society:

"Everything that the Rende Society does is to achieve a balance between man and nature. This cannot be changed by the consciousness and efforts of a small number of us, and requires the joint efforts of all human beings——

And hungry people will not have this kind of consciousness. "

"...a wonderful exposition."

It was not King T'Challa who spoke, but the young prince T'Challa standing beside him.

He smiled slightly and turned to his father:

"Dad, the Rende Society is ready to develop globally, which is a happy thing even from the perspective of the whole world.

If there were more enlightened people like President Oakes, the world would be much better. "

"But after all, there is only one President Oaks."

King Tchaka pondered for a moment and picked up a document:

"Then, President Wood, it is said that in addition to Rendehui's cross-era grain planting technology, Stark Industries' supporting automatic harvesting and processing system will also be provided free of charge?"

Doubt flashed in his eyes:

"Although your president has a good relationship with Tony Stark, the latter has indeed stopped the arms business and has become one of the most famous Avengers.

But he's a businessman after all, and I don't see any benefit to him in that. "

"This is a project in partnership with our Rendehui. It's a ... advertisement to promote Stark's Industrial Clean Energy Program."

Jack smiled and spread his hands:

"They are powered by the Ark reactor, which is safe and pollution-free, Mr. Stark means, besides creating explosions, he will do a lot of things."

"……I see."

T'Challa nodded slightly, and after looking at his son T'Challa, he finally smiled:

"Then~lightnovelpub.net~ Wakanda thanks President Oaks for the assistance, we will arrange the first phase of the test in the confidential test field-

But I hope to have further communication with President Oaks about the establishment of a branch of the Rende Society in Wakanda. "

"As you wish, Your Majesty the King."

Jack nodded unexpectedly and bowed slightly:

"Mr. President has returned to the headquarters from the European branch, time..."

"No, President Wood."

Contrary to Jack's expectations, Tchaka smiled and shook his head:

"It's enough to have you here... I hope to go to the headquarters of Rende Club and meet your president in person!"
