  • Overview

Recommendation

When former US President Barack Obama spoke at the Seeds & Chips Global Food Innovation Summit, he addressed some of the most pressing issues of society today: climate change, food and political instability, the refugee crisis, and the effects of technology and automation on the economy and the job market. While his solutions are neither comprehensive nor surprising, they do reflect a thoughtful synopsis of global issues and possible solutions. getAbstract recommends this transcript of his speech to industry leaders, activists and environmentalists.

 

Take-Aways

  • Climate change remains an issue regardless of the strides the world has taken to mitigate it. 
  • Food and political instability has caused the refugee influx to Europe. The problem will worsen as climate change continues.
  • Food production is the second leading cause of greenhouse emissions. Advances in agricultural processes have reduced emissions even as the economy has grown.
