  Heavens..its totally twee western thinking to say that you can dig a well here or there etc etc or give everyone the means to fish etc etc and all will be fine. You see reports on this kind of thing on televison every so often..a nice little african village with a small allottment and maize or whathaveyou growing in the corner. it achieves nothing. It has achieved nothing over many years. Okay I relent, it might help a tad here and there but its nothing near an overall solution.
  
  We still have those starving kids as seen on TV adverts everyday that we cant bear to watch and as seen in the link above..everyday, it never goes away. Since I was a kid with my 'penny for the black babies'. ..its never gone away. Having a few allotments and a few wells will accomplish nothing other than sooth western conscience.
  
  What we need is a greater world wide production of food and this i suspect can only be achieved by genetic enhancement of current crops. Will a starving family in africa pause before they eat a bowl of rice and say
  "is this genetically enhanced??"
