Die Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, welche in den letzten 5 Jahren 2 Milliarden Dollar aufgebracht hat, um Hunger und Armut in Afrika und Asien zu bekämpfen, fokussiert die Ausrüstung armer Farmer mit modernen Maschienen, um die Produktiviät zu verbessern.
"(The) use of such techniques can make the difference between suffering and self-sufficiency for small farmers in developing countries.", sagte Bill Gates.
"When Melinda and I started our foundation more than a decade ago, we initially focused on inequities in global health. But as we spent more time learning about the diseases of poverty, we realized that many of the poorest people in the world were small farmers. The conclusion was obvious. They could lift their families up by growing more food."
