The global food crisis today leaves over 800 million people starving, with thousands dying daily. The food issue surely is a complicated one. Is there any way to feed an additional 800 million people using knowledge we already have? Surely.

To effectively deal with the food crisis, we need to have a very good understanding of the current state of the economy, the resources available to humanity to deal with the issue, etc. Surely, with over 1000 trillion dollars of value in today's dollars, money is not the obstacle to accomplishing this feat. So how exactly do we feed everyone on this planet in the soon future?

The solution to me is simple. Hungry people need food, food comes from plants. Plants can be grown in a various manner of ways including organic or non organic, sustainable or non sustainable, hydroponically, aeroponically, or in soil.

I would strongly advise that the steps to be taken to feed the world's hungry is to manufacture from a central location, millions of aeroponic, organic and sustainable greenhouses for the third world.

One greenhouse can feed anywhere from 5 to 5000 people, therefore 1 million aeroponic, organic and sustainable greenhouses should be able to feed 800+ people.

This is to me and many of my peers the only logical solution to the globe's food crisis. It is time to let go of previous technologies and techniques and start using NASA developped Aeroponic technologies to provide third nations with sustainable crops in any environment or economic condition.

What is the solution? One million aeroponic, sustainable and organic greenhouses.

How do we go about making this happen? First of all there needs to be a Campus build where those greenhouses are researched and developped, before being released and monitored into the world from this central location. This campus would research and develop hundreds of sustainable and ecological, organic business chains and would later release them trough communities making them sustainable one after the other on all their basic services.

While this step would require the cooperation of government, non profits, for profits, private hands, a huge amount of people, the collaboration of hungry nations, the collaboration of rich nations, the release of sustainable development grants to the manufacture of those greenhouses and sustainable business chains, as well as the expansion of the sustainable services provided from this global campus for sustainable business chains.

This to me is the very best approach at beating world famine and hunger. This is also the exact agenda of the BigOrganicNetwork.com non profit foundation for global sustainability. Big Organic Network is planning on launching a huge website in 2009 with a plan for a Campus and hundreds of sustainable and organic business chains that will be researched from the Campus.

Is there any better solution to feed 800 million hungry, than to build them 1 million greenhouses, using sustainable development grants ? I don't think so, and that is why I am dedicating my life to Big Organic Network, and the knowledge that world famine can be erradicated by building 1 million aeroponic, sustainable and organic greenhouses.

I will conclude this article by saying that you should all focus on the exact steps to be taken to accomplish this feat, and not on all the other philosophical stuff that goes with it. If you want to feed 800 million people, you need 1 million greenhouses. There is no other way to do it, and it's the only thing that will ever work.
