Our food systems have not been designed to adapt to major disruptions like climate change, says environmental journalist Amanda Little. In this eye-opening talk, she shows how the climate crisis could devastate our food supply -- and introduces us to the farmers, entrepreneurs and engineers who are radically rethinking what we grow and how we eat, combining traditional agriculture with state-of-the-art technology to create a robust, resilient and sustainable food future.

In Delhi, India air pollution is so bad that you can taste half the periodic table, and can't see beyond 5m
Let’s not confuse air pollution with climate change!
@@moodobusiness Yea, but the problem is they focus so hard on CO2 that things like real pollution and smog get ignored. Nobody has to pay fines for spewing out chemicals into the air. But they get fined if it's CO2... easy to cirvument! Just turn the CO2 into a poisonous chemical.
@The Lobster no I mean they are separate issues
In Delhi, India customer service representatives are so bad you can hear half the frequency chart as they shriek into the telephone to “unplug your router for 5 minutes”, and can’t properly hear for the next 5 minutes.
On a brighter note, Sikkim India has gone all organic
This kind of entitled, elitist TED talk is just getting tiresome:
1) Here is a problem, X. (In this case, lots of produce in one place and lots of starving people in another place.)
2) I have absolutely no education or expertise in this topic. However, I come from a wealthy family and went to an Ivy League university, so I was able to get other people to pay for me to take a FIVE YEAR VACATION, where I talk to people who are solving an entirely different problem that happens to be peripherally related.
3) All of the proposed solutions require capital, so they can only be implemented by capitalists.
4) Denigrate solutions that do not require capitalists.
5) Utterly ignore the fact that simply improving the supply does not solve the problem of getting said supply to the people who are demanding it.
6) Invent a new term to describe what other people are already doing so you can pretend that you had some part in inventing the solution.
The problem is almost never been that we could not make enough food. The problem has almost always been that capitalists continuously find more and more ways to make accessing that food more expensive so that the capitalists continue to wring more and more blood out of those turnips.
The solution is:
A) Tuning our production to match an appropriate nutritious diet. Instead of producing tons of potatoes because they are a high profit item for fast food restaurants.
B) Distributing production so it is physically closer to the demand.
C) Putting that production in the hands of the people instead of capitalists.
But you are never gonna see this solution on a TED stage because rich people don't pay $3,000 a ticket to be told that they are irrelevant.
Dear TED, I sincerely hope that you read Grant Robertson’s lucid comment, take note, then become properly “woke”, and return to your original T.E.D. roots, which provided welcomed, eye-opening content. Failure to do so will ultimately conclude your relevance and a TED RIP date will soon be confirmed as the year 2020.
Damn this comment was better than the actual TED talk XD

Excellent summary of the modern world's unsustainable and reckless use of its resources.
The purpose of this tedtalk was not to remain ignorant towards the economical limitations of LEDCs and third world countries in the agriculture sector .. but is to express that there is a whole avenue of biotech and Ai technology which could eventually improve the economical and environmental conditions of countries affected by climate change... especially third world countries where locusts attacks have been damaging crop supplies and affecting the food supply chain. By developing CRISPR and all sorts of technology from capitalist societies.. crops can be protected from oscillation in weather conditions (especially East Africa) and intruders...such as locusts. I agree with your solutions however the overarching message of this ted talk was not to downplay our environmental problems... but to raise awareness regarding scientific breakthroughs...
twenty-five years ago people could be excused for not knowing much, or doing much, about climate change. Today we have no excuse.
It was never their intention to do someting against it. It's a business. They want only your money.
The climate cannot be changed by any human intervention. It changes by itself. Just wait: I'm sure in ten years you will wish the warm summers to come back.
"If people let the government decide which foods they eat and medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.

Impressive quote there. "The modern young man will never change his environment; for he will always change his mind.” G. K Chesterton
@@Zoomo2697 good quote. Thank you!
@@lea6032 no worries. G. K Chesterton was a Genius
Thomas Jefferson owned human slaves.
@@jesseyules And he came to the conclusion that it was wrong and gave us the methods to stop it. It easy to sit in the 21st century and assume that if you were born in Alabama or The Middle East or India or everywhere in the 16th century, and in time immemorial, that had slaves, you would have been so noble? 9 out of 10, you'd have turned Anne Frank in to the Nazis.

We need to stop all this death while there are still people to save.
Investing is how you can create wealth for yourself instead of depending on the government.
Investing are the first stones to success.
I started investing from the pandemic crash
Your absolutely right💯 Waiting for the government to provide is a big waste of time.
Determination is always an experience, life is a journey, make your future brighter by influencing your potential towards winning.
There might be so many investment out there but if profit must be considered which is the actual sole aim of every investment then I will advise you to go into bitcoin trading, it has a higher profit rate than most investments
If you believe in the future then you will know that indeed Bitcoin and forex is the future investment that can help you achieve your future goals.
If we want a green future, we need to pay attention to the limiting resources. Lithium, cobalt, iridium, silver, nickel, etc. These mines are energy-intensive and very dirty, with mines in impoverished areas dumping highly toxic wastewater directly into the ocean. Lithium mining takes lots of water but most lithium is mined in the desert! These are the high-cost issues stopping our green future.
I would say our best bet is on fusion and liquified hydrogen tech but that's at least 30 years away. Until then we need to focus on slowing the economy down while keeping the R&D funding for energy projects like ITER. The worst part is that the storage solutions we have now are not usable and any funding put into green energy infrastructure now will be obsolete before it makes a net energy return.
the global world plans for us of the big millionaires are quite different, they want to kill half of the people and the others will continue doing like now or even worse
@@quatroxquatro16 Dafuq does your comment have to do with the previous person's post? Honestly, if your not going to add anything other than baseless conspiracy theories to this otherwise thought provoking thread, don't say anything at all.
Problem is, we'd also have to modify how we manufacture the machinery and everything else that goes into harvesting said resources before we can even start modifying how we harvest those resources. We'd basically have to completely redraw the process of manufacturing.
@@quatroxquatro16 Well some men just want to see the world burn. I know people think the world is like yeast in sugar water; Where the alcohol ends up killing the population. Is it right for a small class of "yeast" to play god in that scenario to reduce the population for the "greater good"? I say make hay while the sun shines!
The tale of an infinite and low cost energy is really old, but there is no solution by now. The proposed alternatives are much more costly and indeed unusable.
Slowing down the economy is a task for everyone of us, only a few are doing it, me included, but not most people that are advicing this to the others.
Obviuously the world is dominated by money and the big millionaires are dictating all the plans for us, actually we may see it clearly every day; cheating and killing the poor, old and disabled people has been imposed on every country of the world; of course a phantom virus is guilty.
When you perform rigorous research into revolutionary new technologies to improve farming but then you have farmers in Australia who cant afford to buy water or bale for their livestock during drought
@@Auga_0_Te.Gm2 holy crap, stop
She said she wasn't for new tech over old ways, but all she advocated were revolutionary new technologies.
Bayer/Monsanto will fight to preserve the practice of overspraying their pesticides and fertilizers because they're blinded by greed. They won't stand for targeted weed or crop spraying- they'd rather farmers continue wasting tons of their chemicals and fertilizers - potable water supplies be damned. (Lake Eerie toxic algal blooms from agricultural runoff has had Toledo and surrounding areas curtailing potable water supply and usage a few years ago already).
And yet midwest corn yields are up, prices are down, and the specter of repeated formidable toxic algal blooms remains a constant threat to drinking water for the 54M people served by the Great Lakes watershed.
Farm bill policy has for decades been incentivizing farmers in the heartland to pump the Ogallala Aquifer dry. Kansas City has already encountered zero day (when wells run dry) and more cities will soon experience this.
This is bigger than food. It's the availability of potable water that's being threatened which needs our attention firstly. The food concerns can be dealt with after we secure and protect our potable water supplies. That's going to take more than just science. It's going to take political capital and will to produce sound policy changes regarding water rights and usage.
If the robot can see the weed why not mechanically remove it ? Why herbicide
I'm very excited and hopeful for the what the future innovation might enable. My only worry is how many people will survive to see it. I don't want the bright future only be available to the select privileged few who survived the turbulent world of changing climate.

Oh c’mon. Here we have another unending paradox. The food is being dump and not even where it’s suppose to be and where it’s needed the most. Such a sad scene. Hope the best for families out there!
Its the supply chain .. how things have been handled.
Technology moves as fast as I go to the store for beer.
Ayo pops is that you?
At the speed of light, if you're anything like me.
@@janj0n I think you're faster than me, but I'll drink more beer.😂 Thanks for the reply, I smiled😉
Never fast enough
Thank you for this and for your research. We may not have a solution yet, but we must continue to try to grow enough food but in a safe and healthy way for us and for our earth.
Make being nice to our fellow humans financially profitable and all the problems go away.
The current situation shows us that it's time to radically rethink our food systems, national and global!
Therefore thanks for addressing this important topic! 👏🏽

What an eye-opening talk it is! So much information that I should know that is really important for our future generations.
thank you very much
☀️It was a pleasure to listen ! Can someone who has an example to get closer between REinvention and DEinvention ,thank u a lot
Thank you! that was a great talk full of hope and trustworth optimism.
I agree there's a lot to be done and the challenge is very high, but so is our human ability to create solutions
The question is, how can WE help, what can WE all do?
That contemplative chin grab was cracking me up. You know she practiced that in the mirror a few times while rehearsing for this.
You are the kindness and your kindness spreads.
Nature ensured that all creation has access to free food.
We are moving too far away from a Natural world that has successfully supported life for many, many generations.
WTF is the natural world? Have you seen bananas before the invention of agriculture?
@@EdLrandom As far as I know bananas were always there. About a century and half ago, they were cross bred to create the yellow variety which is common in our markets..
@@JudeSoares they looked nothing like modern once, so as any wild fruit or vegetable. We changed them to fit our needs. There is no "natural state" for humans
“There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.”

Simple answer: empathy and charity doesn’t exist at mass. It’s only a small percentage that actually have empathy and charity in them. It’s controversial to say and sad but true.
I believe they do, but separately, we feel and are largely helpless to solve big problems. It takes community and group action to enact change. It takes pressure on those in power. But I understand, looking at the world, why you feel the way you do. :)
Actually it's not. If the media was not in our faces every day telling people to hate each other the world would have already gotten better. Love has always been the answer,......
In a few years, this is video is going pop up again, and we're going to feel the heavy hand of hindsight.
Thanks for the acting I listened comprehended digested and I think I may have misfiled mostly information but, that's Ted
You are Right. Thank you for this describe about important Tofic.
Thank you Amanda.
I need key elements of the arguments of this video
"You are preparing for a new world, a world that has already changed, a world that has been changed by human ignorance, abuse and neglect."
"In the new world, you will have to contend with erratic forces of nature, with an unstable climate and its impact upon the production of food, the diminishing of critical resources and how this will affect the transportation and the growing of food and the purification of water. Your problems will be more elemental, more fundamental and more profound."
"The new world can wake you up, but it can also destroy you. That is why you must gain access to the deeper Intelligence within you, the power and the presence of Knowledge..."

Change is inevitable , its just how you deal with it as an individual 🇺🇲

Thank you Benjamin
Thank you, Benjamin.
Finally a decent video from TED again that focuses on bigger problems.
Unless you’re posting this from an off-grid yurt - either way, you’re sillier than your avatar. lol
Well, thank God we have non farmers telling us farmers how to adapt to your predicted world. We will get back to farming...you're welcome.
Good for you brother. Don't let psychos dictate how you work and feed your family.
Thats the reason were gonna die as a species cos minds like u can't shift or open to new ideas.
Im a commercial fisher.
You know that the chemists who make the pesticides, engineers and factory workers who are responsible for the tractors you may or may not use are non farmers as well.
Many of you farmers would have a much harder job without them bringing their contributions to help you "adapt" to the direction that the world was changing too. So you can get back to farming.
I would love to hear what farmers are thinking. I might have this a little mixed up but this is how it seems to me this past year, that the government broke our farmers with Trade Agreements. I think most Americans would love fresh farm foods. Even on a fixed income I'd go for the real deal. So the govt gets a contract from Switzerland to buy kiwis only from them. In return Switzerland needs military equipment and weapons. Our specialty! The Swiss aren't neutral any more
Not since COVID45. Nobody is. Does this sound about right? The downhill trend for farmers would be on the wall for people in that world, I would think. And didn't the govt pay farmers to NOT grow crops? Throw in bad winters and bugs and it's a perfect storm, I imagine.
I am curious. If you had your perfect solution - what would that involve?
Very helpful and interesting
Climate change tastes like victory! I’m prepped and waiting on the sidelines for the weak to fall. Gonna make some popcorn and watch the show.
This was clearly recorded in front of a green screen. Was the echo added in post? Why would you do that?
Nature always gives us a good lesson. Nature lover..I love greenery ...
@Golden Ratio 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Replace cows and sheep for chicken and we can replant half the amount of land being wasted on them .
Order the veggie burger or chicken and don't eat beef if you are against land clearing .
I worked on a chicken farm that was on about 4 acres of land and that included the owners house .
30.000 birds every 8 to 10 weeks , one bird will feed four people , 120.000 meals EVERY eight weeks.
Over a year about 600.000 meals.
The same area used for cattle , you might get 4 cows if you remove his house .
One cow minimum , two /three years to grow fat enough to make 800 meals x 4 cows 3200 meals from the same property.
Great video 👍 .
Wow I’m early for something!
No problem, with coming early unless your partner complains...
Cap relative to 2019 levels fossil emitting activities, leases and permits below 90% in 2021, 80% in 2022, 70% in 2023 steadily down to 0% by 2030.
Collapse of food systems can only be avoided if we avoid chain reaction, tipping point, runaway to Hothouse. Even then, it will be hard. We've already lost 25% of the forestry due to mature in the 2040s; fisheries and farms can fare no better.
Leadership would apply data warehousing and logistics to food use optimization. It is all there. Nothing about GMO? Keto is a bigger part of the picture than depicted here. Food waste? That seems to be a good place to start, at the end.

Creating an artificial duck was scary, I wouldn't eat that! Why all that when you have a variety of plants to eat? Discover non conventional plants from your region, they usually grow spontenously without much care. In Brazil we call them PANCS.
Do people who have no idea what it's like to starve or be homeless or in poverty really deserve to have a voice about the issue
Excelente
If people could learn how to intergrate nature into their infrastructures like more trees, green walls, roofs and grow their own foods as much as possible (like we did for many MANY generations) then there was no such thing as ''climate change'' People should be more involved again into the food they eat, whenever modern technology or not .
As long as we the people vote those into power that will implement these ideas, then our future will be on the right path. Otherwise, the old ways of thinking will continue to hinder future growth.
out of all the comments, could anyone tell me solutions i can work towards for the big spectrum of climate change? i feel like no matter how much research i do, talking to other ppl is more informative than research will ever be.. i know it’s a broad question, but i want to be part of the solution idk (no sarcastic responses lmao)
The biggest contribution you can give to the planet is eating a plant based diet 😊
just consume smarter, it's the best thing we can do. But we still need structural change if we're going to solve this.
This is revolutionary....
Wasted food is a failure of government punish it accordingly all problems will diminish.
Big issues, what's the solution?

@Tucker Ray : Give people a good life so they naturally *choose* to have less children. Get people out of the fear that only kicks their inclination for procreation into hyperdrive. Inspire people, not oppress them. Give people a reason to do something, and they far more often will actually do it.
Some nice vehicles there.
Some interesting ideas here, but turning our back on methods that restore soil fertility and soil health would be a major mistake. The ideas promoted here are not “third way” nor do they combine the wisdom of the soil with both traditional and new technologies, they seem to be essentially artificial, separated from nature and entirely too disconnected from the living world and in particular the ecology of soil to promise a path forward that is low energy, conservative and restorative.
Seems that so few noticed this glaring one-sided third way.
Cool travel
I got a fucking McDonalds advert when i clicked on this haha
It’s also interesting they throw those potatoes away while ppl starving in Africa. Is it hard to donate them?
There is noone that wants to invest in collecting the potatos from farmers, organizing logistics to a 6000 km far country and get into contact with them, if there is no benefit but only a tremendous cost for these "cheap" items like potatos.
You missed the point, there are people starving in the US, where the potatoes are, and still nothing is done
@@DizGaAlcam 🤣 absolutely true, I grew up about a few miles from potato fields they wouldn’t even let locals in to pick up the discarded ones
@@DizGaAlcam 1 in 20 homeless and starving in the US are veterans. sad
@@S.Clause yeah, that happens cause if someone eats that potato and has any problem related to it, it's the responsibility of the organization that gave it
I'm not hearing what needs to be said here. All I'm hearing are buzzwords. The reason food rots on the field isn't because there's no infrastructure. Its because nobody bought them. A trucker isn't going to buy potatoes off a farmer to then give them away to a food bank. Nor is a farmer going to donate his crop when doing so could cost them their farm. Talking new tech ignores the fact that in times of crisis government should be organizing purchase and transport of food, and they didn't. They didn't even think of it. And that's the problem.
The only solution to food security in a post climate change world is to decentralize it. Every home should be designed with food production in mind. It won't completely solve distribution but it provides individual households a buffer, so that distribution from larger farms can catch up. It also reduces the amount of land needed to feed everyone significantly since a sizable portion of production is moved into urban and suburban landscapes. Allowing nature and reforestation efforts to take over. At the end of the day climate change can't be solved with capitalism or innovation. It needs to be solved by decentralization and self sufficiency.
So the food system is failing but economies are fine you say? Nevermind the class disparity, we can't touch that...
I'm rooting for this
I bit into a chunk of coal, washed down with a cup of petrol. Tasted disgusting. Now I'm feeling sick.

Wow Kate Winslet is spreading awareness about climate change. Brilliant!
😂😀👍
It feels amazing when Celebrities talks about social awareness 😀
Without icebergs she wouldn't be as famous.
Sounded good at first, then just no.
How does this happen? Shifty politicians greedy farmers. What should have happened during the pandemic was continuing delivery of goods but instead of to the places that shut down redirect it to food banks shelters the military for crying out loud. You make that food FREE and give it to people. You don't say well we can't make money so just throw it away. We throw away food and yet having starving people. It's stupid.
We are the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, and we are the last generation that can do something about it.
Hydroponics though it seems promising to capitalize,commercialise and provide decentralized food supply amidst disturbed supply chain.Don't u think it will ruin lives of poor toiling farmers in low developed countries whose livelihood depend on markets of developed world?
Not to mention it has large infrastructure and inputs.
Save nature 🙏❤️
Dear all, I was wondering when we talk about today's money and also about Climate change as big problems. we say money is created from thin air. There is no backing like gold for this money. I was thinking the money printing is done by cutting trees, why don't we have a system, where the entire money supply is backed by valuable trees which have value and usability, plus they are life force on this planet.
This way we will value the trees plus we will save the planet and stop Govts to print money as and when they want it. Please share your thought and if someone from Economics can explain about it, whether it is possible or not.
Viable habitat for growing food traditionally on a global scale is quickly being compromised by self-imposed climate disruption. If the human species is to exist into the relatively near future alternative options must be explored for producing food. Technology may buy us some time, but it's this very technology we've invented that is at the root of the industrial heat engine that is warming the biosphere. It's a fact that all of the past human complex civilizations have collapsed due to their incompatibility with nature herself. Therefore, reinventing ourselves in a sustainable way is the only option left available to humankind, since we're now literally staring down the barrel of another mass extinction that will eliminate most life forms on the planet.

Right, and sucks people have to keep saying it. I'm sick of saying it too. So much wasted time and energy on both sides when we could put it to better use finding solutions and implementing them. And by doing so even creating jobs for many people who desperately need them.

The beginning of the video mentioned the San Antonio Food Bank so I wanted to share some information about why that photo of all the cars is troubling, The SA Food Bank is absolutely massive. In addition to the enormous warehouse for food storage, they have a 40 acre farm on site for vegetables, fruit, and dairy where I've volunteered. They also provided meals to students in the after-school program I worked for at another nonprofit and created a food pantry on my college campus. Basically, if you live in or around San Antonio you'll see how much impact this one organization has over a city of 1.5 million people PLUS the surrounding areas. So why is it troubling to see so many cars and know there's still not enough food to go around? Well, other orgs from around the country sent their staff to SA Foodbank to learn from their procedures but if our food bank is one of the best in the country and still doesn't have enough food to go around (especially when there are smaller orgs helping out too) then we have a real problem. We're seeing tens of thousands of people depend on SA Foodbank alone but if they can't even provide food to everyone then it speaks volumes about our society and the lack of government and corporate efforts to end hunger. TLDR; If we rely solely on nonprofits to fix hunger then we're never going to have enough for every family that needs it. Government and corporations need to be held accountable for food insecurity, too.
She is smiling during serious issue.
to say this was a great video but it was not on par with the how to fit in much more people in less space video
Yet no one blames the mode of production. Capitalism, car culture, plastic, the military industrial complex, and corporate emissions are killing this planet - and everything living on it that can't afford a bunker.
Car culture 😂😂 damn that mean transportation cult!
If you can afford a bunker you just make one, grow a pair
developing countries like mine is looking up on countries like America for ways of tackling climate change but America recently withdrew itself from paris accord! wut !?

For the traditional and organic fanatics out there: sometimes we just need to fucking eat to live
"I'm a failed vegan" hm you do realize that veganism is not a diet but rather a philosophy of not harming animals. So you failed in not harming animals needlessly.. why? for your convenience? for your taste pleasure? these things are more important than the life of a sentient being who wishes to live. Who suffers, and feels pain just like us, living a life of confinement and torture. You may want to change the wording because it's basically like if i would say "I'm a failed wife beater or failed racists or failed sexist etc.
The world's problem is not a lack of food, the problem is the division of food, while in some countries food is wasted by millions of tons, in other children they die of malnutrition.
as well as water, as well as oil, as well as energy, as well as employment, as well as income.
The problem in today's world is the lack of empathy with those at the bottom of the social pyramid. Just as the richest are getting richer every day, the poor are getting hungry, thirsty, more vulnerable.
I do not defend a socialist system, but the capitalist is indefensible. and praneta terra depends on the human being finding a model that remains within the parameters established by nature.
there is no way for a capitalist model to grow infinitely as it is occurring.
Problems affect society and the planet, if we have a big problem with the environment, it is our economic model, if we have a problem with our social it is because of our economic model.
If there is no remodeling of the current capitalist models, we will not have to worry about the lack of food or the current agroeconomic model, there will be countless problems, some we can imagine as war, population displacement, floods, diseases, but there are those that we do not even think about. to happen...
