Fact check:

🔹 2% of @elonmusk's wealth is $6B
🔹 In 2020 the UN World Food Program (WFP) raised $8.4B. How come it didn't "solve world hunger"?

the sustainable solution
Machinery ring boss Erwin Ballis says the concept of the shared economy is the way to fight malnutrition worldwide!
Only agriculture can feed humanity. We would use $6 billion to set up 400,000 machinery rings in Africa and share knowledge and machines with people. This is how we would combat the problem of world nutrition where it arises.
Our proposal:
We will help agriculture in Africa to feed itself and others.
Social
Real help for self-help: As an organisation by farmers for farmers.
Economical
Simple, everyday machines achieve the greatest effect on the ground.
Ecological
Resources at hand are used in a sustainable way.
The most effective idea we can come up with is:
With the World Food Programme:
Distribute enough food every day for a year.
or
With agriculture:
Produce enough food where it is needed, forever and ever.
@Elon: This is where you come in
Let's do it better
