Ted Talk Video: Response and Summary


               According to the sustainability advisor Louise Fresco, food is as economically important as things like oil and energy for our world.
               In the video a woman named Louise Fresco has two loaves of bread. One loaf is freshly baked and represents agriculture and "true beauty". The other loaf is the name brand "wonder bread". Louise believes the "wonder bread" is the better alternative for people around the world to buy because it is mass production. She claims that sound mass production foods fee the whole world, yet leave a small role for small bakeries. Only 1% of United States population are farmers today due to the modernization of agriculture and global trading.
               Louise says we need to improve our agricultural science, also known as "good science", and we also need to improve our agricultural technology in order to maintain the environmentally sound mass production of food.
