World Food Production to Feed 10 Billion, Factors in Production of Crops and Farming, Greenhouses, Irrigation, Transportation, Market Flow of Food, Migration, Things That Hinder Food to the Market
The world's population is expected to rise to 10 billion by 2053. How will we feed the world? Science and technology will play a big role in this, through biotechnology, nanotechnology and modernization around the world in farming techniques and machinery to harvest and grow the crops. You can buy organic, which is fine, but the human world populations has relied on refrigeration, freezing, salt preservation and packaged and canning techniques in storing these foods Which why surviving a food shortage is paramount in food preservation and seed storage to replenish the food consumed.
One factor in production of food is just one aspect of it. Transportation and migrant workers policies play a big part in getting the food to the market place or growing it is senseless. Transportation infrastructure is a must in this. Liberal migration policies to make sure the labor exist to harvest the crops. Liberal free trade policies in importing other foods from other countries.
Greenhouses can play a big part in growing crops and producing food in northern areas to produce year around growth potential keeping a constant outflow of food to the market place in which should be wide open for imports and exports.
Irrigation and desalination of water to create crops and food production is important to. It is about time to harvest the power of the ocean resources.
Domestication of new species of animals and fish farming are important to diversify and multiply food production too. If a species of animal is going extinct in the wild, it has always been bought backed and farmed and used as a resource in the world market. Some of these are the ostrich, buffalo, alligator, etc.
What hinders abundance is too much regulation, wars, conflicts, the world coming together as one to solve humanities problems. Protectionism, world imperialism, communism and socialism are major factors in these issues to boot.

North Korean and Syrian Connection
: North Korea Shipments To Syria Chemical Arms Agency Intercepted: UN Report. UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Two North Korean shipments to a Syrian government agency responsible for the country's chemical weapons program were intercepted in the past six months, according to a confidential United Nations report on North Korea sanctions violations.
The report by a panel of independent U.N. experts, which was submitted to the U.N. Security Council earlier this month and seen by Reuters on Monday, gave no details on when or where the interdictions occurred or what the shipments contained.
"The panel is investigating reported prohibited chemical, ballistic missile and conventional arms cooperation between Syria and the DPRK (North Korea)," the experts wrote in the 37-page report.
"Two member states interdicted shipments destined for Syria. Another Member state informed the panel that it had reasons to believe that the goods were part of a KOMID contract with Syria," according to the report.
KOMID is the Korea Mining Development Trading Corporation. It was blacklisted by the Security Council in 2009 and described as Pyongyang's key arms dealer and exporter of equipment related to ballistic missiles and conventional weapons. In March 2016 the council also blacklisted two KOMID representatives in Syria.
"The consignees were Syrian entities designated by the European Union and the United States as front companies for Syria's Scientific Studies and Research Centre (SSRC), a Syrian entity identified by the Panel as cooperating with KOMID in previous prohibited item transfers," the U.N. experts wrote.
SSRC has overseen the country's chemical weapons program since the 1970s.
The U.N. experts said activities between Syria and North Korea they were investigating included cooperation on Syrian Scud missile programs and maintenance and repair of Syrian surface-to-air missiles air defense systems.
The North Korean and Syrian missions to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The experts said they were also investigating the use of the VX nerve agent in Malaysia to kill the estranged half-brother of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un in February.
North Korea has been under U.N. sanctions since 2006 over its ballistic missile and nuclear programs and the Security Council has ratcheted up the measures in response to five nuclear weapons tests and four long-range missile launches.
Syria agreed to destroy its chemical weapons in 2013 under a deal brokered by Russia and the United States. However, diplomats and weapons inspectors suspect Syria may have secretly maintained or developed a new chemical weapons capability.
During the country's more than six-year long civil war the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has said the banned nerve agent sarin has been used at least twice, while the use of chlorine as a weapon has been widespread. The Syrian government has repeatedly denied using chemical weapons.

Trump's Ego, Kushner Power, Zionism, Nationalism, Evangelicalism, Muslim Brotherhood, Military Complex, Extremism, $$$, Pakistan and Afghanistan Policy and the Many Forms of Globalization
Trump in Arizona at his pep rally reminds me of a promotion for a fight, or is it just a feel good stimulation for his ego.
More power has been given to Kushner, since Bannon left the White House. In Trumps cabinet, he had competing groups. The military complex, the nationalist, the evangelicals and the supportive billionaires that have backed him. Oh! forgot, the Russian, but it in itself is made of billionaire, such as the oligarchs. The nationalist are out after Charlottesville and the billionaires have fallen out like flies.
With Kushner and the military complex winning the battle, you are bound to see more fighting, more war and conflicts. How else can you promote weapons sales and the Zionist agenda. Lots of people did not know, that Bannon's in laws are Jewish and so it exist in the Trump family. Big support for Israel. The Evangelist are just riding the wave.
Trump announced he would be cutting aid to Egypt because of human rights issues. Fine because the majority of the parliament and a large part of the political democratic base is the Muslim Brotherhood. Big part of the Arab Spring during the Obama administration. This will give a boost to the Muslim Brotherhood. Problem with Egypt is, his has been under not freely elected governments for years. Sadat, Mubarrack and now under military authoritarian rule and all of them stemming from the military complex in Egypt. Hint, hint, military......McMaster, Kelly, Israel, weapons sale, stir the pot, cause fear, it all sells.
Israel's ultimate plan to protect itself, is to keep the US on its side, such is keep the pot stirred in the Middle East, keep oil as an importance, keep alternative energies at bay to keep the petro dollar going and keep the arms sales rocking and who knows, hinder the influence of Islam in the region.
There will be more terrorist recruiting in large numbers, lots of money being made on fighting terrorism, weapons sales, keeping the Sunni and Shiites at odds and who is to know, with the number one seller of weapons and the 2nd one being Russia, the Russian collusion, they might be rubbing each others back.
In Afghanistan, why is it being enhanced, well....again conflict and war, sells weapons, a wealth of mineral reserves in Afghanistan, the Chinese Silk Road, the keeping of military bases, which stand at 9 under lease with the US government, the poppy growing at a record, feeding the Taliban etc. $$$$$$$$$$.
We spend a lot to money and time fighting terrorism in the Middle East. The money being spent there could just be basing it down to extremism and fanaticism. We have terrorist in our mist in the US. The KKK, Neo Nazi, White supremacist organizations, Black Panthers, religious cults, drug cartels and street gangs. But we are totally focused on Muslims and terrorism.
A new proposal being waved no is cracking down on Pakistan, which should have been done a long time ago. Harboring Bin Laden, it is a nuclear power with the Taliban in its mist. India is a lot more important. Anyway, it was used as a launching pad to India, during terror attack done on it a way back. We should get India more involved in the process of sandwiching in the Taliban in Pakistan and deterring the Islamic take over of India in itself.
The Islamic and Christian crusades have been going on since the dark ages and it is still being fought in a tug of war of influences. The Catholic and Evangelical influences are international in importing its influence to fill the coffers for their ideas. Such to be the Islamic goals to make the whole world Muslim. The knot in the the rope is Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Globalism should be a shared coalition of the world as a whole, not a constant fight of religions, economic systems trying to conquer the world, for all to say, it is not globalization, but the form of.
This is why WW1 and WW2 was fought and who is to say, with Trump, WW3. Globalization should be a mixing of cultures, coalitions coming together, the United Nations, open borders to trade, free trade, free commerce flow, diplomatic solutions involving the neighborhood, free flow of ideas from media, the Internet and social sites. The free spirit of independent thought and if spiritual, free spirit in a way where all spirit beliefs are accepted and combined to crate a more peaceful world. Not wars, conflict, dividing, feeding hate and fear, selling religion, oligarchy and billionaires to feed the bottom line but in a since to feed the coffers of all where all in the world benefit and have the chance to bring themselves out of poverty and into the world of technology access and out of the world of just living day to day to survive what is not their fought.

Abby Martin & Chris Hedges: War, Propaganda and the Enemy Within
Abby Martin & Chris Hedges: War, Propaganda and the Enemy Within
Why we should be in Afghanistan, ISIS, Taliban, Trump, Poppy and Heroin
The Afghan War is the longest running war in history, but is it really a war? It is a conflict in American and global interest here are some of the reasons.
1. ISIS and the Taliban have a heavy presents in the area. ISIS, we all know about, the most extreme source of Islam. The Taliban is terrorist ruling organization that degrade their women like dogs, is in the poppy trade and is one of the largest drug cartel protectents in the Middle East and the world. They use this money to buy weapons. Currently they hold 32% of Afghanistan.
2. Everyone agrees that ISIS must be eradicated from the planet. The Taliban and Afghanistan would be another spring board to launching terrorist attacks on Europe and North America. Now the cost, very expensive, but why must the US accept all the burden financially. They should not.
3. It should be worked out in the United Nations to what happens, but being we have the Trump administration that is turning into a military complex profiteer, it will never happen, but the elections are coming up in 2018, and in 2019 we will have a lame duck.
4. The eradication of Taliban should be done through the United Nations or a coalition to include mostly, Iranian, Kazakhstan, Pakistani, troops invited by the Afghan's. Support could be done through NATO and the US and Russia. Any country that has an interest in doing business in the country should be involved. The problem with most conflicts in the world is that they still want to play imperialist, economic control freaks to suit their fancy, and manipulate the world for their own greed.
5. The answer is through the United Nations, coalition forces as one as we did in Bosnia, cost sharing and just be in a support role to the one common cause and that is to eradicate the Taliban and ISIS, eradicate the poppy trade in which most of it is the raw source of the heroin epidemic in the USA in which take 40,000 lives every year, more than car accidents

China Cools North Korea and Now Bannon Advises Trump for China Trade War, War vs Peace
What have been the impact on a Korean War. It is now out that Trump now has to ask the South Korean President before going to war with North Korea, I guess so because it is in their back yard. North Korea is just flexing its muscle in the world. Kim knows if it went to war with the US, then it would be a toasted pop tart. On top of that, China would involve itself. I think to go to war with a foreign nation, it takes a declaration of war against it going through congress after 90 days.
War with North Korea would cause many South Korean deaths, not American deaths. Who are we to say that we want war. Ukraine, Saudi Arabia vs Iran, Syrian conflict, Venezuela overthrow, Iraq, Afghanistan, South China Sea......on and on and on......sells a lot of weapons, cost live of future consumers in the world, tears up infrastructure, disrupts people's lives, tears families apart and creates angry young Islamic terrorist.
Are we just selling weapons to the world, or trying to create an economic global free trade, free flow of consumer goods, bringing the world together to act as one in policing the global neighborhood, or are we just trying to sell weapons along with Russia? Are we in on it together, rubbing each others back since we and Russia sell more weapons to foreign counter parts than anyone in the world. Come on, the military complex on both nations should be engaging in other areas of the global economy, not in war and con flex. People spend more money during peaceful times and governments, your taxes spend more during war, oh what we could do better with that money and the social ills around the world we could fix.

Uptick in Podcast
Podcasts predate the iPhone, Spotify and Netflix's streaming service. But thanks to such things, they're finally starting to catch on with the general public.
The term "podcast" was first coined by a Guardian journalist in 2004 in an article about online radio, and the first ones appeared even earlier than that, even if they weren't called "podcasts." For years, few people tuned in. But, as we can see in this chart from Statista, which is based on data from Edison Research and Triton Digital, podcast listening has finally started to take off. Six in 10 Americans now know what a podcast is, and four in 10 have listened to one at some point.
The increase in podcast consumption could be attributed to a rise in the overall consumption of digital media. The proliferation of smartphones has also helped make downloading and listening to shows easier than ever.
But the format got a big boost in 2014 with the first season of Sarah Koenig's show, "Serial," which reached 5 million downloads faster than any other podcast before it. Now everyone from Snooki to Goldman Sachs has a podcast, and major media companies like HBO and the BBC are upping the game by bringing big budgets and talent to the format.

Iran, Russia, Syria vs USA, NATO, EU, GCC , Kurds, Saudi Arabia. The Pipelines, Gas Reserves, Shiite vs Sunni
Iran and Russia show great interest in Syria. One reason being, Iran is Shiite, in which Assad is too, and that Russia has always had interest in the Shiite minorities. Hezbollah is also in that area which is a Shiite sect. There is the interest also in Iraq next door and a pipeline that Russia and Iran want to run through the region. To top it off, there is a large natural gas deposits off the coast of Syria that Russia is interested in and so is Israel.
The USA's, EU, Israeli, NATO and Sunni coalitions such as Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the GCC are interested in the same things and want to change Syria back into a Sunni enclave.
Oil is also a big commodity in the area of utmost importance.
Trump has hired a lot of military generals. Uh........weapons sales. What do you need to sell weapons? Wars, conflicts, boasting military actions, feeding the fire of rhetoric in areas such as the Korean peninsula, Ukraine, defending Israel, causing sectarian strife and the more of the young Arabs family members we bomb creates young Jihadist out of vendettas.
ISIS is on its last leg in Syria, and then post ISIS involves the Kurds wanting a homeland, in which they deserve, because they have done better than any other group in the area in defeating ISIS in Syria and Iraq. It will be interesting to see, because Iraq does not want the Kurds in the northern area of their country and the Turks don't want them to have a homeland, especially on the border with Turkey.
Then you have Russia in which the Kurds would be a interference in running the pipeline through Syria and Iraq. The US is in this area. There will also be a fight in the control and influence of Iraq by Syria, Iran and Russia vs the GCC, Saudi Arabia, EU.
Syria should be Sunni, because it is a majority of the population and would very easily win if democratic elections were hold. Yes we should over throw Assad in which Putin does not want.
The refugee problem is not a problem, but a humanitarian issue in which the nations should be involved in solving through safe zones protected by NATO and the US through no fly zones and well guarded. Also countries should be welcoming them in as a humanitarian mission of the world. If we overthrow Assad, get rid of ISIS, divide the region up in such we did with Yugoslavia with peacekeeping forces and in which Russia could be involved, things would work out and so would the refugee crisis.

Trump, Populism NAFTA, TPP, the Populist Fad, Short Lived
Trump is on a downward spiral. Brexit does not have a majority support like it use to. The populist parties have lost in France, Netherlands, Austria and in Italy. Nationalism is being short lived around the world and it did not take long for the young people to realize that the nationalist wanted to take them back to the 30's and 40's. This is Trump's agenda to.
NAFTA is being renegotiated, we pulled out of the TPP and the dollar is sinking low in which explains the high stock market index which really does not reflect the true market because of the cheap dollar.
When will we learn that globalization is here to stay and benefits everyone with low inflation, pulling people around the world out of poverty. Happy people don't want wars and conflict. It is the world economy stupid. The minority of 30% in the US, that are evangelical, rural, nationalistic, non changing in the United States have lost the trend set, and a short trend at that. Hope you enjoyed your ride. Charlottesville was the last straw.

Cold Hard Facts About World Poverty
At least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 per day. Free trade, foreign aid, governmental support through UN programs would solve a lot of this, not spending money on weapons as a priority. Those who are rich having heart would support a lot of these causes. All people need around the world is a jump start and opportunity to better their lives. This is where nationalism is greedy and one stained glass church window could feed and house someone in the world. $10 a day and we complain, greed will kill you.
To put things into perspective, the top 20% of the world's population accounts for three quarters of the world's income. This is a problem with today's world in income disparity. Society should be based on a market and profit sharing for employment, required retirement programs for all global employees. Welfare for all who need a jump start that give themselves pride to get back on their feet again. Drug wars and harsh policing of societies create a lot of the world poverty we see today because we brand them, thinking they will never change, but all people change when their is a helping hand a glimmer of hope and light is seen at the end of the tunnel.

Welfare for all who need a jump start that give themselves pride to get back on their feet again. Drug wars and harsh policing of societies create a lot of the world poverty we see today because we brand them, thinking they will never change, but all people change when their is a helping hand a glimmer of hope and light is seen at the end of the tunnel.
Half of the world's population accounts for only 5% of the world's income. This is not right in a sense that these people get most of the tax breaks, big companies get bailed out and you as a common citizen do not.
According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die every day due to poverty. This is 22,000 future consumers, opportunities to change the world, children are our future, those who deserve the right to be educated and go to schools, despite what a religion says, an economy dictates, wars destroy because of oil or world dominance.
Nearly one third of children in developing countries are estimated to be underweight or stunted. All children and people should have a right to a meal, health care and an education. In saying this free broadband to the Internet to have knowledge at their finger tips. No more keeping the world's poor dumb for greedy profits and greed of others.
Last year, about 70 million children of primary school age were not in school. Again all should have a right to an education and free college. It has been proven that young people or all people for that manner do not commit or are more less to commit crimes if educated. In saying this, free thought, free spirit and free Internet should be a priority in the coming together of the world through global multicultural exchanges of people and civilizations to bring forth a more peaceful world.
Nearly a billion people celebrated the coming of the 21st century without being able to read a book or sign their name. This is too much. All people in the world should if not be educated, to educate themselves in self taught learning through the Internet. This should be a priority goal in NGO's organizations, foreign aid, charitable organizations and governments.
Preventable diseases like Malaria afflict nearly 500 million people every year. If we prioritize world funds of governments, this problem can be eradicated. It is a preventable through the drugs that prevent it to include many other diseases.
Africa alone accounts for roughly 1 million deaths due to Malaria annually. Most of them are children. If we eradicated Islamic extremist group, stomped out dictatorships, corruption through the means of the Rule of Law, If all the nations of the world would come together to prop up the African economies, for Africa is the next worldwide great labor force of the world and people not looking for a hand out but a hand up.
Speaking of children, there are 2.2 billion children in the world, half of them in extreme poverty. No wonder you half gang members, drug cartels, child exploitation, young terrorist, young crimes being committed and angry young people yearning for a better life but down the wrong path. This is your future world in which you as a older person will retire in and they will be your support, good or bad, it is all of our choice.
Over 1 billion people have inadequate access to water and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation. Many times this means no separation of drinking water and toilet water. Basic sanitation is where disease comes from and where it multiplies and spread, maybe even to you. Sanitation for all in the world would prevent a lot of this and this should be a worldwide mission for the United Nations, worldwide NGO's the more economically privileged in world and governments.
That is why 1.8 million children die every year of diarrhea. Again, this is do to lack of sanitation in the world today.
Approximately half of the world's population now lives in cities and about one third of those in the cities live in slum conditions. This is a big problem in third world countries but they survive. Governments should help all people out of these conditions but not through ordinance of laws that throw people out of their homes, making them homeless and out in the streets like in the United States.
In fact, slum growth is outpacing urban growth by a frighteningly large margin. This is due to lack of opportunities and welfare programs that should be institutions. If not working, supply a supplemented income to those who can afford better housing.
One quarter of humanity lives without electricity. Most live on fossil fuel, which has been a necessary evil and the old fossil fuel sectors that have existed. We are now moving away from this world into solar, wind and renewables. But in saying this not regulating every energy resource out to the market, all should have accessibility to energies and how they achieve this to survive should not be restricted by governments to restrict a person's right to survive.
The 7 richest people in the world make more than the poorest 41 countries combined (roughly 567 million people).What is wrong with this picture. Incomes should be like a pay scale not a world of oligarchs that keep the main worldwide populous suppressed for their profits and manipulation.
14% of the world population own over 80% of the world's private financial wealth. The vast majority of that wealth has managed to avoid all income and estate taxes, either by the countries where it has been invested or where it comes from. Require estate taxes.
For every $1 in aid that a developing country receives, over $25 is spent on debt repayment. Sad on this part, seems like bringing more middle class consumers into the market would be a better idea where these debts can be forgiven, like the bail out in the US with the banks. Bail out people at the bottom and you will bail out the economy.
The poorer the country, the more likely it is that the debt repayments are being extracted directly from the people who neither contracted the loans nor received any money. This is because of corruption, greedy dictatorships and oligarchs
In fact, keeping people depressed, poor, thinking that life is just not worth living feeds the church coffers, the narcos, the gangs, the cartels, the human smuggling, the alcohol producers, the tobacco producers and big pshyco big pharma in business, not to mention private prisons and Law Inc.
Here in saying that all health care should be universal and supplemented public access, public education that is free even to the college levels. Access to the Internet as an information access tool and social networking having the freedom to grow without interference through regulation, far right or religious suppression.
If you are reading this list then you are in the top 30% of the world's population when it comes to poverty and wealth.
With new technologies we now grow enough food to feed 10 billion people or 1.5 times the world population. The problem is that most of the world can't afford to buy that food. Food should be exempt of scrutiny in importing and exporting to create farmer protection. Food should flow freely without interference in getting it to the people who need it. So much is wasted through trade barriers, supplementation, migrant restrictions and greed price gouging. Farmers should be presented the opportunity to buy through supplementation or donations of tools and farm equipment to improve precaution and presented with western methods of farming production procedures.
If the world spent less than 1% of what it spends on weapons all the previously mentioned issues would be fixed. Wars cost money, destroys infrastructures of one thriving civilizations, puts nations and taxpayers in debt to feed a military machine complex who without wars and conflicts would not make profits.
