00:00:03.696 --> 00:00:06.860
PRESENTER: This is the Journey 2050 
self-guided experience.

00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:10.668
You are on lesson seven
on innovation and technology.

00:00:12.545 --> 00:00:15.895
For step two of this lesson,
you're going to pause this video

00:00:15.895 --> 00:00:18.733
and start watching
the TED talk that's called,

00:00:18.733 --> 00:00:22.075
"A global food crisis
may be less than a decade away."

00:00:22.389 --> 00:00:27.015
Note that you're only gonna watch
the t--first 2 minutes and 29 seconds

00:00:27.015 --> 00:00:29.111
of this particular TED Talk,

00:00:29.111 --> 00:00:31.296
and then you're going
to consider a statement

00:00:31.296 --> 00:00:34.980
that Sara makes in this TED Talk
and respond to it on your handout.

00:00:35.597 --> 00:00:38.705
After you're done with step two,
move right on to step three,

00:00:38.705 --> 00:00:42.667
and that is to watch the "Journey 2050:
Technology & Innovation" video,

00:00:42.667 --> 00:00:44.764
and then answer the three questions.

00:00:45.678 --> 00:00:47.991
So with those instructions,
pause this video

00:00:47.991 --> 00:00:50.892
until you finish step three
on your handout.

00:00:52.966 --> 00:00:56.656
You should have 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 --> 00:01:01.221
But just to...

00:01:01.851 --> 00:01:04.828
uh, reiterate this reflection
just a little bit,

00:01:04.828 --> 00:01:06.166
make sure that you're taking time

00:01:06.166 --> 00:01:09.317
to think about which innovation
you think is most impactful,

00:01:09.317 --> 00:01:13.956
and what some of the pros and cons
of these new technologies...could be

00:01:13.956 --> 00:01:15.796
in relation to our sustainability.

00:01:17.844 --> 00:01:21.299
For step four of the lesson,
I want to discuss just a little bit

00:01:21.299 --> 00:01:25.683
to make sure you understand the difference
between a developing country,

00:01:25.683 --> 00:01:27.501
and a developed country.

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

00:01:30.790 --> 00:01:34.939
they have high standards of living,
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.

00:01:48.696 --> 00:01:49.649
Um, they also have,

00:01:49.649 --> 00:01:55.502
lower 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 --> 00:02:04.885
So, make sure that you keep these in mind,
uh, as we move on to step four.

00:02:08.408 --> 00:02:12.499
For step 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
and 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 --> 00:02:26.676
We're now on step five 
of your handout. And,

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,

00:02:30.865 --> 00:02:33.900
we have learned throughout the 
entire "Journey 2050" program.

00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:35.953
We're coming to the end,
we're almost there.

00:02:35.953 --> 00:02:37.577
But, I want to ask you a question.

00:02:37.577 --> 00:02:42.362
How do consumers like yourself
influence what producers grow?

00:02:44.147 --> 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,

00:02:49.169 --> 00:02:52.472
How do you influence what producers grow?

00:02:54.805 --> 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 --> 00:03:25.638
what producers, or farmers, same thing,
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 --> 00:03:30.688
throughout your life.

00:03:32.562 --> 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.

00:03:39.307 --> 00:03:43.156
The first is 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 --> 00:04:07.825
The second is to help developing countries
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 --> 00:04:25.545
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.
