In headline news, the global food crisis has exploded onto the public stage once again, as it has before. G8 finance ministers ended their recent summit declaring that global hunger had eclipsed in importance the worldwide credit and climate-change crises they had gathered to discuss. The importance of this extraordinary development cannot be overstated. It took decades of effort from multiple sources to create a media and cultural context in which climate change had become perhaps the first cause to create special ongoing environmental sections in virtually every media outlet. In addition to the downsides of the cyclical media, cultural and political attention given to such issues (another discussion), the fact is that every serious observer of the major issues facing the planet has understood for decades that serious efforts to solve these interdependent problems must take into account the relationship of issues in applying sustainable solutions for all. We have long since passed the point of acting as if one issue can be made better at the expense of another without, in effect, making things worse overall. Planet Earth Foundation, the organization which created World Campaign, focused initially on hunger as the greatest ongoing killer in history, the most likely to create political will for change, and to assist in examining more critically the other great issues related to global survival. The gains of the past, while there was still a long way to go, were important achievements, and are at risk of being undone, in a milieu which could cause far greater chaos and global risk than before. In some areas, such as biofuels and food production, interests have clashed, and have proven they could be potentially disastrous for all issues involved if not resolved. It took something as primordial as the need to eat to take precedence over even the financial crisis and rise in energy prices. However, all issues are of course intertwined and impacting each other. Different competing interests exist to be sure, powerful interests, ranging from national to economic. However, it is becoming more obvious by the day that these interests will soon pale in comparison to the common interest of being able to sustain some kind of reasonable life on earth for most people, and the risk to even the most powerful of not doing so. Regardless of what your opinion might be on any specific issue, or the relationship of these issues, do you agree that with the resource limitations which exist by definition on a finite planet with a large and growing population, exploding global problems of food crisis, environmental crisis, financial crisis, health crisis, human rights crisis, terrorism and war, that the solutions to these crises must first and foremost take into account serious and ongoing examinations of their interconnected impact, in exploring and implementing pragmatic solutions?
