Plan B

"We are entering into a new food era, one marked by high food prices, rapidly growing numbers of hungry people and an intensifying competition for land and water resources that has now crossed national boundaries as food-importing countries try to buy or lease vast tracts of land in other countries."

I agree with this statement made within the preface because, it is exactly what is going on within our society today. We have food prices that are sky rocketing and many people who live in poverty are going hungry every single day because these prices have become non affordable to the society. Even within our fast food businesses, the prices have been raised, and when the prices were at a reasonable price, individuals didn't go hungry. Land has also been a competition, because when one finds good land and soil, it means that there is also great wealth and great resources among the land. Here comes the subject about people who are in power! Those that are in power get to determine these food prices being elevated and the number of people going hungry. They get to choose what type of land they want in various countries, and again their wealth continues to increase while many around are suffering.

"Plan B. Its goal is to move the world from the current decline and collapse path onto the new path where food security can be restored and civilization can be sustained."

The world is at its worse state in some parts of it and I believe that Plan B is one way to really revive many countries back to its original state or at least close to it. Plan B being a path to bring food security for many countries that deal with health issues, and have a lack of education is a good start. Many countries death rate is due to the lack of food security, education on health, and really just a lack of education. I feel like Plan B has a sense of urgency to help those who are in need, and to provide education in food security for those who cant find a source of income and their way to maintain a healthy life. Just as the title of the book says Plan B is way to mobilize to save civilization and that is what is being done. But what I feel is there will always be an obstacle that is going to hinder the Plan B from progressing forward, but I believe that this Plan B can prosper in many ways!

"Eradicating poverty is a priority goal for three reasons. One, in combination giving women everywhere access to reproductive health care and family planning services it is the key to accelerating the global shift to smaller families"

I would have to definitely agree with this statement. I believe that this is something that should be discussed everywhere within the global regions. Again a lack of education about something means there is a likely hood for misinterpretation to evolve. With Plan B educating women across the nations about reproductive health care is definitely a way to reduce health risk factors and the production of children in harsh conditions. Most of these children are born into families that live in poverty and many mothers cannot provide for their offspring. Providing this education could probably change the global shift to smaller families and shift poverty. This will assist in stabilizing communities and also food security!
