Poverty Reduction

A democratically planned global thrift is needed to pull up by the roots straitened circumstances in the cosmos. Implemented through the Global Common or joint possession with built-in mechanisms for optimum input and superintendence guaranteed to all limb-states, a democratically planned global thrift offers the Global Common or joint possession a achievable starting sharp end for achieving
(a)     a healthful, sustainable environment for every global community citizen,
(b)     universal health care, publicly supported,
(c)     education for all based upon individual capability,
(d)     creative/productive employment for every global   community citizen, and
(e)     post-retirement security.
We have to design systems of food production that meet our own needs, and also leave room for these other lifeforms we want to take along with us. This effort will lead over time to an escalation of human values and symbiotical relationships transcending money centered economics. Therefore we have to do things differently. Western agriculture is designed in the end to maximize profit. We need to form a global ministry dealing only about agriculture and the protection of our soils. We also have to apportion the land surface of the whole world more efficiently, using some for highhly intensive food production (which makes use of less land), some for extensive agriculture (combining food production with wildlife conservation) and designing some specifically as wilderness areas with global corridors between them. All nations will be part of the ministry. As a primordial human right, the prime concern of the human species is to feed people. We will have to produce less livestock as we effectively double the population we need to feed: ourselves, plus the livestock that is supposed to be feeding us.
