According to statistics from food aid foundation, over 795 million people do not have enough food to live a normal healthy life. With about 7 billion people on the planet this stats tells us that about 1/9 of the world's population are hungry. Different government agencies have put is efforts to reduce the rate of hunger and as at 1996 during the World food submit, a target was set to halve the number of undernourished and hungry people by 2015. Around that time the estimate for number of hungry people were above 900 million so judging from the current statistics it is safe to say the target wasn't accomplished. One fact not surprising is that a vast majority of the world's hungry people live in developing countries with Asia and Africa having the largest number of hungry and malnourished people in the world.

It's for certain that everyone experience hunger daily but not everyone have the resources to solve the problem of hunger when it arises. This is why the first church of the blockchain @steemchurch in collaboration with @farms have embarked on a project to feed the world through steem and this will be done mainly by supporting agriculture and encouraging the use of steem as a medium of exchange.

Supporting agriculture worldwide will be killing one bird with two stones. First it will be creating employment and most importantly it will be solving the problem of hunger/famine. With one person fed daily, the number of hungry persons in the world reduces and if this effort continues it will surely affect the lives of many.

My Suggestions

Before writing this post I made observations and discovered that the @farms account has become active and it has been supporting agriculture related contents however the steps it has taken so far might not achieve the aim of feeding the world through steem. Supporting agricultural posts that talks about different crops is not necessarily supporting agriculture. Below are steps @farms and @steemchurch can take in supporting agriculture and feeding the workd through steems.

  • Supporting agricultural works- posts that show agricultural works should be supported and by works I mean agricultural activities embarked on by parishioners and other contributors.

  • Enlighten individuals on benefits of investing and engaging on agriculture through series of posts from @farms.

  • Embarking on humanitarian projects to feed the world through steems.

  • *Creating proper strategies for the mission *-

Vision statement

To become well diversified in the agricultural sector making relevant the @farms tag and increasing steem/sbd dollar token trade locally

Mission statement

To assist and strive tirelessly to eradicate poverty and reduce hunger with productivity, diligence and integrity through the blockchain.

The above statements were given by @farms during it's introduction and the ideas are wonderful but however the steps taken so far might not lead to the realisation of these visions.

You can't make a name in the agricultural sector or better still support agriculture if you are not practically involved so my suggestion to @farms is that a long term target of establishing actual farms worldwide should be put into consideration. Farms can be established in Venezuala, Nigeria and Ghana where there are parishioners who can be selected and employed to oversee and work in these farms no matter how small the farms may be. @farms can embark on a fundraiser for this project and when it becomes active it will solve the problem of unemployment and hunger and take @farms and @steemchurch well beyond the steem blockchain.

I believe steem will feed the world if these steps are taken. You can drop your suggestions too.
