Hunger Is Not a Destiny New aid models and Israeli technology can help feed the world

It doesn’t make for sensational headlines, but one problem that impacts hundreds of millions of people, particularly in Africa, has accompanied us through the ages – poverty and hunger. The good news is that a solution is within our reach.

Facts

Let’s look at the facts. Some 75 percent of the world’s poorest countries are in Africa, with nearly 415 million people living in extreme poverty across sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly 50 percent of the sub-Saharan African population live on $1.90 a day or less, and about one in three people is malnourished. Poverty is the principal cause for hunger in Africa and elsewhere. Moreover, some 70 percent of the world’s poorest people live in rural areas and depend on agriculture and related activities for their livelihood. Half of the world’s hungry are from farming families. Every 10 seconds, a child dies from a hunger-related disease, and it’s estimated that about half of these children are African.

Simply put, nobody understands their field better than the farmer. By combining grower knowledge with local weather data and more than five decades of Netafim agronomic expertise, NetMaize gives corn farmers the information they need to get the most out of their drip irrigation system
