3 reasons why we can win the fight against poverty | Andrew Youn

Half of the world's poorest people have something in common: they're small farmers. In this eye-opening talk, social entrepreneur Andrew Youn shows how his group, One Acre Fund, is helping these farmers lift themselves out of poverty by delivering to them life-sustaining farm services that are already in use all over the world. Enter this talk believing we'll never be able to solve hunger and extreme poverty and leave it with a new understanding of the scale of the world's biggest problems.

"Humanity solved the problem of agricultural poverty over a century ago. We just haven't delivered the solution to everybody yet." Awesome

THANK GOD! Finally an intelligent speaker. *YES!* Property rights is where ALL wealth begins. Give people their property and let them plant their seeds and they will reap what they sow. My hope for TED has finally been restored.

Thank You, Mr. Andrew Youn. AN important talk. Because of the title you choose, I expected something a tad bit different ... you do tend to focus in one direction for resolving a very complex problem ... it will take more than this ... but this sounds good on the surface ... I'm not sure, at all, if hybred seeds are a good thing ... there needs to be more research into this approach. Love & Peace to All

[arantzazabala]

I like a lot your idea. I understand your enthusiasm as you can see how the families improve, and the children growth healthier. Maybe it is important to go further, and maybe help these farmers to find a way to make their own fertilizers.... and improve the way to distribute their harvest... And you can begin the work with new areas.... I´m really interested in One Acre Fund, I would like to help and contact you. Congratulations for your great work!

This person is awesome. Delivering his speech like shots from a gun. Point oriented always. But the saddest thing is we are still in poverty...
