00:00:03.670 --> 00:00:04.204
This is the

00:00:04.204 --> 00:00:07.440
journey 2050 self-guided experience
you are on.

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.610
Lesson seven on Innovation in Technology.

00:00:12.545 --> 00:00:14.047
For step two of this lesson,

00:00:14.047 --> 00:00:18.251
you're going to pause this video and start
watching the TEDx talk.

00:00:18.251 --> 00:00:20.220
That's called a global food crisis.

00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:22.389
Maybe less than a decade away.

00:00:22.389 --> 00:00:26.893
Note that you're only going to watch
the first two minutes and 29 seconds

00:00:27.027 --> 00:00:30.630
of this particular TEDx talk,
and then you're going to consider

00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:34.801
a statement that Sara makes in this TEDx
talk in response to it on your handout.

00:00:35.602 --> 00:00:38.605
After you're done with step two, move
right on to step three

00:00:38.705 --> 00:00:41.574
and that is to watch the journey 2050
Technology

00:00:41.574 --> 00:00:44.744
and Innovation video
and then answer the three questions.

00:00:45.678 --> 00:00:48.515
So with those instructions, pause
this video until you

00:00:48.515 --> 00:00:50.784
finish step three on your handout.

00:00:52.952 --> 00:00:53.486
You should have

00:00:53.486 --> 00:00:56.656
just finished the Technology
and Innovation video.

00:00:56.656 --> 00:01:00.026
And hopefully you have also answered
the three questions.

00:01:00.026 --> 00:01:02.162
But just to,

00:01:02.162 --> 00:01:04.898
reiterate this reflection
just a little bit,

00:01:04.898 --> 00:01:06.232
make sure that you take time

00:01:06.232 --> 00:01:09.335
to think about which innovation
you think is most impactful

00:01:09.335 --> 00:01:12.772
and what some of the pros
and cons of these new technologies

00:01:13.273 --> 00:01:16.276
could be in relation
to our sustainability.

00:01:17.844 --> 00:01:20.413
For step four of the lesson,
I want to discuss

00:01:20.413 --> 00:01:23.550
just a little bit
to make sure you understand the difference

00:01:23.550 --> 00:01:27.387
between a developing country
and a developed country.

00:01:28.154 --> 00:01:30.790
Developed countries are industrialized.

00:01:30.790 --> 00:01:32.559
They have high standards of living.

00:01:32.559 --> 00:01:35.562
They have strong economic growth.

00:01:35.662 --> 00:01:39.632
Developing
countries are typically agrarian,

00:01:40.066 --> 00:01:42.235
meaning that they're not industrialized.

00:01:42.235 --> 00:01:45.371
They're more centered around agriculture
with more people

00:01:45.872 --> 00:01:47.841
participating in agriculture.

00:01:49.142 --> 00:01:50.043
They also have lower

00:01:50.043 --> 00:01:55.582
standards of living, and they quite often
have a weak economy with slow

00:01:55.815 --> 00:01:58.818
or even nonexistent growth.

00:01:59.652 --> 00:02:02.655
So make sure that you keep these in mind,

00:02:02.655 --> 00:02:05.658
as we move on to step four.

00:02:08.361 --> 00:02:08.928
For step

00:02:08.928 --> 00:02:12.499
four of the lesson,
you're going to pause this video

00:02:12.499 --> 00:02:15.802
and go back to the Ted talk
that you started in step two,

00:02:16.503 --> 00:02:19.973
how you're going to finish,
watching the rest of the Ted talk

00:02:19.973 --> 00:02:22.976
and answer the questions on your handout.

00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:26.246
We're now on step five of your handout.

00:02:26.246 --> 00:02:29.782
And what I want to do in this step
is really try to pull

00:02:29.782 --> 00:02:31.584
a lot of things together
that we've learned

00:02:31.584 --> 00:02:33.920
throughout the entire journey
2050 program.

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:36.322
We're coming to the end.
We're almost there.

00:02:36.322 --> 00:02:37.557
I want to ask you a question.

00:02:37.557 --> 00:02:42.362
How do consumers like yourself influence
what producers grow?

00:02:44.197 --> 00:02:45.198
Take a minute to just

00:02:45.198 --> 00:02:49.169
think about that and think about you
yourself as a consumer.

00:02:49.202 --> 00:02:52.472
How do you influence what producers grow?

00:02:54.774 --> 00:02:56.876
If you think back to lesson

00:02:56.876 --> 00:03:01.080
four on economies, we talked
about the law of supply and demand,

00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.450
and we discussed how
when there is a high demand,

00:03:05.051 --> 00:03:08.454
that the price prices go up and more
things are produced.

00:03:08.454 --> 00:03:12.759
When there's low demand, prices go down
and less of

00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.460
that will eventually be produced.

00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:18.531
So you as a consumer
have the ability to influence

00:03:19.065 --> 00:03:21.868
what producers or farmers?

00:03:21.868 --> 00:03:22.669
Same thing.

00:03:22.669 --> 00:03:25.638
What producers grow and how they grow it.

00:03:25.638 --> 00:03:29.175
So your choices will impact
overall sustainability

00:03:29.175 --> 00:03:32.178
throughout your life.

00:03:32.845 --> 00:03:34.147
In summary, I want to talk about

00:03:34.147 --> 00:03:37.650
three ways we can expand
our capacity to produce food.

00:03:39.252 --> 00:03:40.186
The first is

00:03:40.186 --> 00:03:43.156
by developing and implementing
new technologies.

00:03:43.156 --> 00:03:47.560
We talked about best management practices
throughout the journey 2050 program.

00:03:48.094 --> 00:03:51.564
Those best management practices
are going to change throughout your life

00:03:51.564 --> 00:03:56.436
as new things are discovered, as research
is done, and we're going to continue

00:03:56.436 --> 00:04:01.274
finding better ways and better
technologies to use our resources wisely.

00:04:03.009 --> 00:04:05.645
The second is to help developing countries

00:04:05.645 --> 00:04:08.648
improve their farming efficiency.

00:04:10.750 --> 00:04:14.153
The third and the last is learning
how consumer choices

00:04:14.153 --> 00:04:17.790
can either support or challenge food
sustainability.

00:04:20.727 --> 00:04:21.928
To finish up this lesson,

00:04:21.928 --> 00:04:25.465
go ahead and review the key points
that are found at the end of your handout.

00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:28.034
Congratulations!

00:04:28.034 --> 00:04:31.771
This marks the end of the entire journey
2050 program.

00:04:32.205 --> 00:04:35.642
You should at this point
be able to answer the question

00:04:35.642 --> 00:04:40.913
how can we sustainably feed
nearly 10 billion people by the year 2050?

00:04:41.648 --> 00:04:43.349
Hope you've enjoyed the path.
