1
00:00:03,696 --> 00:00:06,860
PRESENTER: This is the Journey 2050 
self-guided experience.

2
00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:10,668
You are on lesson seven
on innovation and technology.

3
00:00:12,545 --> 00:00:15,895
For step two of this lesson,
you're going to pause this video

4
00:00:15,895 --> 00:00:18,733
and start watching
the TED talk that's called,

5
00:00:18,733 --> 00:00:22,075
"A global food crisis
may be less than a decade away."

6
00:00:22,389 --> 00:00:27,015
Note that you're only gonna watch
the t--first 2 minutes and 29 seconds

7
00:00:27,015 --> 00:00:29,111
of this particular TED Talk,

8
00:00:29,111 --> 00:00:31,296
and then you're going
to consider a statement

9
00:00:31,296 --> 00:00:34,980
that Sara makes in this TED Talk
and respond to it on your handout.

10
00:00:35,597 --> 00:00:38,705
After you're done with step two,
move right on to step three,

11
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:42,667
and that is to watch the "Journey 2050:
Technology & Innovation" video,

12
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:44,764
and then answer the three questions.

13
00:00:45,678 --> 00:00:47,991
So with those instructions,
pause this video

14
00:00:47,991 --> 00:00:50,892
until you finish step three
on your handout.

15
00:00:52,966 --> 00:00:56,656
You should have just finished
the technology and innovation video,

16
00:00:56,656 --> 00:01:00,026
and hopefully you have
also answered the three questions.

17
00:01:00,026 --> 00:01:01,221
But just to...

18
00:01:01,851 --> 00:01:04,828
uh, reiterate this reflection
just a little bit,

19
00:01:04,828 --> 00:01:06,166
make sure that you're taking time

20
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:09,317
to think about which innovation
you think is most impactful,

21
00:01:09,317 --> 00:01:13,956
and what some of the pros and cons
of these new technologies...could be

22
00:01:13,956 --> 00:01:15,796
in relation to our sustainability.

23
00:01:17,844 --> 00:01:21,299
For step four of the lesson,
I want to discuss just a little bit

24
00:01:21,299 --> 00:01:25,683
to make sure you understand the difference
between a developing country,

25
00:01:25,683 --> 00:01:27,501
and a developed country.

26
00:01:28,154 --> 00:01:30,790
Developed countries are 
industrialized. You know,

27
00:01:30,790 --> 00:01:34,939
they have high standards of living,
they have strong economic growth.

28
00:01:35,662 --> 00:01:39,632
Developing countries
are typically agrarian,

29
00:01:40,066 --> 00:01:42,235
meaning that they're not industrialized.

30
00:01:42,235 --> 00:01:45,371
They're more centered around
agriculture, with more people,

31
00:01:45,872 --> 00:01:47,841
participating in agriculture.

32
00:01:48,696 --> 00:01:49,649
Um, they also have,

33
00:01:49,649 --> 00:01:55,502
lower standards of living, and they quite 
often have a weak economy with slow,

34
00:01:55,815 --> 00:01:58,818
or even nonexistent growth.

35
00:01:59,652 --> 00:02:04,885
So, make sure that you keep these in mind,
uh, as we move on to step four.

36
00:02:08,408 --> 00:02:12,499
For step four of the lesson,
you're going to pause this video,

37
00:02:12,499 --> 00:02:15,802
and go back to the TED talk
that you started in step two,

38
00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:19,973
and you're going to finish
watching the rest of the Ted talk,

39
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:22,976
and answer the questions on your handout.

40
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:26,676
We're now on step five 
of your handout. And,

41
00:02:26,676 --> 00:02:30,865
what I want to do in this step is really
try to pull a lot of things together that,

42
00:02:30,865 --> 00:02:33,900
we have learned throughout the 
entire "Journey 2050" program.

43
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:35,953
We're coming to the end,
we're almost there.

44
00:02:35,953 --> 00:02:37,577
But, I want to ask you a question.

45
00:02:37,577 --> 00:02:42,362
How do consumers like yourself
influence what producers grow?

46
00:02:44,147 --> 00:02:45,198
Take a minute to just,

47
00:02:45,198 --> 00:02:49,169
think about that and think about
you, yourself as a consumer,

48
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:52,472
How do you influence what producers grow?

49
00:02:54,805 --> 00:02:56,876
If you think back to lesson,

50
00:02:56,876 --> 00:03:01,080
four, on economies, we talked
about the law of supply and demand,

51
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,450
and we discussed how
when there is a high demand,

52
00:03:05,051 --> 00:03:08,454
that the price, prices go up and 
more things are produced.

53
00:03:08,454 --> 00:03:12,759
When there's low demand, 
prices go down and less of,

54
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:14,460
that will eventually be produced.

55
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:18,531
So, you as a consumer
have the ability to influence,

56
00:03:19,065 --> 00:03:25,638
what producers, or farmers, same thing,
what producers grow and how they grow it.

57
00:03:25,638 --> 00:03:29,175
So your choices will impact
overall sustainability,

58
00:03:29,175 --> 00:03:30,688
throughout your life.

59
00:03:32,562 --> 00:03:34,147
In summary, I want to talk about,

60
00:03:34,147 --> 00:03:37,650
three ways we can expand
our capacity to produce food.

61
00:03:39,307 --> 00:03:43,156
The first is by developing and
implementing new technologies.

62
00:03:43,156 --> 00:03:47,560
We talked about best management practices
throughout the "Journey 2050" program.

63
00:03:48,094 --> 00:03:51,564
Those best management practices
are going to change throughout your life,

64
00:03:51,564 --> 00:03:56,436
as new things are discovered, as research
is done, and we're going to continue,

65
00:03:56,436 --> 00:04:01,274
finding better ways and better
technologies to use our resources wisely.

66
00:04:03,009 --> 00:04:07,825
The second is to help developing countries
improve their farming efficiency.

67
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:14,153
The third and the last is learning
how consumer choices,

68
00:04:14,153 --> 00:04:17,790
can either support or challenge 
food sustainability.

69
00:04:20,727 --> 00:04:21,928
To finish up this lesson,

70
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:25,545
go ahead and review the key points
that are found at the end of your handout.

71
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,034
Congratulations!

72
00:04:28,034 --> 00:04:31,771
This marks the end of the entire 
"Journey 2050" program.

73
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:35,642
You should at this point
be able to answer the question,

74
00:04:35,642 --> 00:04:40,913
How can we sustainably feed nearly
10 billion people by the year 2050?

75
00:04:41,648 --> 00:04:43,349
Hope you've enjoyed the path.
