Mr Dung was only guest used translator.  And what did he do in this Forum? What role did he play there? it is typically Vietnamese....shy and so simple to answer question.

Poor moderation

What did the prime minister of Vietnam have anything to contribute to the forum? He could not even answer a simple question asked in Vietnamese. The chair should be reserved to a young & talented Vietnamese person. Shame...

@TheCashistrash they do subsidize food for people who cant afford it. Its called EBT and im on it. You have to be a CITIZEN of the US and have an address. So do you think the government should give away food to illegals that come over to America? How do we pay for all the food? the same way we do for EBT. TAXES! no thanks im already struggling pretty badly and can barely keep clothes on my back!

Discovered in 2003:

The underlying law of nature may be the world's most useful, profitable and encouraging knowledge.

e.g., The ULN is the most effective and efficient means to improve the performance of any process.

Great personal, economic and societal advantages exist to identifying the underlying law of nature first hand, for oneself, then understanding its principles and, finally, applying it in all aspects of life.

Bing or Google it as a start.

Watch The Film The World According To Monsanto. This should have been called - Rethinking how we kill the off the population before they wake up. Watch Endgame Blueprint for global enslavement. Research Eugenics. Type Bill Gates Eugenics in google and youtube search. Research the side effects and testing of gmo food on rats and see the results for yourself. Research agenda 21 and aspartame. That is all.

there is plenty of land and water for feeding everyone. These people are full are garbage and playing politics. The problem is distribution and greed. Here in the united states people would rather throw food away than prevent the prices of food to actually come down. Profits are more important to these people than actually feeding people. My opinion Food should be government subsidized. Food is an essential necessity no one should be without and food should be free

What a load of rubbish.. People were starving before climate change, we have always had climate changes.. Independent farming would be a start. Without one centralised farm. You need multiple small farms to work in with the land. "I cant believe how long that guy raves pushing the GM food". A good method for the Fed banks around the world to inject cash flow into the system, would be to do this directly at a % into poverty communities with projects and hardware funded and produced.

High productive seeds!!? Why do you think India has rejected GM seeds.. Look at what GM corn has done.

And you can talk about it all you like, It is much more simple though.. Food grows by people putting plants in the ground - there are plenty of people available to do this.

If you take out the object of money it could all be done tomorrow..

It is a bit more than about being creative.. It is about changing our ways.
