Mandela: “A traveler through a country would stop at a village and he didn’t have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu but it will have various aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not address themselves. The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you be able to improve?”
50% of humanity still lives below the poverty line, and the problems over food for the world are worsening alarmingly. Sixty thousand people die of hunger and poverty every day. The Right to adequate food, the Right to drinking water and the Right to satisfy basic needs, including infrastructures, now clearly demonstrate the global urgency of something that morally can no longer be postponed. Only meeting those Human Rights effectively can ensure the right to human life. In this sense, it is particularly important to avoid new sources of energy (bio fuel, etc.), which attract much investment, do not reduce the production of food, nor put up its price.
