OK. Say the food is not given to animals in the United States, how exactly do you think that food is going to reach the poor in Africa??? Do you really think the government will send it to them??? How will they benefit from it???
At the end of the day the best way to handle the situation in Africa would be to provide jobs through tourist resorts (like kenyan safari). Give people means of growing their own food, importing other food. GM food can survive in hot conditions (look at India) India began doing well and getting out of poverty when it brought GM wheat from the west. And since it has seen improved crop yields due to crops being able to survive some harsh weathers and resistant to certain diseases.
Why is the west not offering GM crops to the poor in Africa??? And if it is why is africa not buying???
Where is the so called aid to africa being spent??? I havent really seen many improvements to be honest.
What businesses will do well in Africa??? Is there a way of helping set them up??? I know China has built tourist resorts in one of the African countries that was recently war torn (cant remember name, but i saw a program about it). The chinese investors say they see it as a business venture with the locals who will have jobs at the site after development.
