Ies.

For food, it's the same.

They are left to die

for us to live.

Pioneer is present in 120 countries.

The last

conquered country is China.

Pioneer is concerned by these issues.

Our slogan is:

'' It feeds the world.''

And this is what they do.

But without money,

nothing is possible.

As I said before,

a business has no heart.

The state of world hunger

is really terrible.

Every day, 100 OOO people starving

or its immediate consequences.

Every 5 seconds a child under 10

dies from hunger.

Every 4 minutes someone goes blind

!

Because of a lack of vitamin A.

According to the World Report on Hunger

The organization's annual report

the Food and Agriculture

namely FAO, based in Rome and

created by the UN

842 million

people suffered last year

chronic malnutrition worsened.

They have no sex life

professional or family.

And

became invalids unable to feed themselves.

The year before they were

826 million.

The number of victims is growing.

The same report says

global agriculture may

now

smoothly

feed 12 billion people.

Means that each child who

today, starving

is, in fact, murdered.

All these trucks that cross

are full of soy.

It was harvested

in northern Mato Grosso

and also a little higher.

And from there, soybeans are shipped

2 500 km

port of Santos in Sao Paulo

or the port of Paranagu in Paran.

Then it is exported

in Europe, China and Japan.

The largest producer in the world is here

soy in Mato Grosso.

It is the Maggi group,

whose owner

is also the Governor of the State of Mato Grosso.

It was 20 years ago, there was

the rainforest.

It has since been destroyed, razed,

to plant soybeans.

Here, in the Amazon

we do not want soy.

We do not want it.

Why?

Because our soil is really good

But when you open All

to plant soybeans,

impoverishes it.

For soybeans, it is too poor.

Before, there was

that of the virgin forest.

Giant trees.

From there far

whole forest has been cleared for pasture

.

And now, are planted soybeans.

In the whole region.

Look over there, these lines.

These are tractors

who did this,

there so we can plant soybeans later.

Right now, producers

soy in Mato Grosso

require that the federal government

would build an asphalt road, the BR163,

which will cross

= = one of the last agricultural frontier

,

one of the last virgin forests.

The money for this road

comes from World Bank

and the Interamerican Development Bank

.

The result of this behavior and this policy

is that European livestock,

but also that of other countries

consuming soy

devour the rainforest

Amazon

and Mato Grosso.

This is a problem for the ecological balance

for all humanity.

And it demonstrates the shortcomings of agriculture

we practice here and around the world.

People rarely take into account

2 things when it comes to hunger:

it has serious physical and physiological

terrible.

The TV shows

starving children in Sudan and Somalia.

But what does not see,

is fear,

daily fear of tomorrow.

In Brazil

ago

a custom in the north-east,

in the slums of states that are most needy

of this region.

When the kids at night starving

their mothers put a kettle of water on a plate,

placing stones

and cook.

And they say:

'' Wait, wait

'' the meal is almost ready.''

And they hope that in the meantime,

Ieurs hungry children

fall asleep and stop crying.

It is a daily drama,

who tirelessly repeats itself,

in Pernambuco

Alagoas, Sergipe!,

And throughout the Northeast Brazil

undermined by poverty.

In this pond

water is not good, but

we drink.

When children drink it

it gives them sometimes fever.

Sometimes there are things,

dirt in the water.

It is polluted,

it is unclear by what,

and it makes the children sick.

The problem of hunger?

I will not lie to you.

We are all going very badly.

Here, when we work,

it still manages to eat.

When you can not find one, we

stay home.

And here we are starving.

Children are less affected

because we

goat milk for them.

Without it, we

starving.

This kid bleats

because his mother had a baby.

As he drank all the milk

Ie small starving.

So they put him in the barn.

That way, she has milk.

And it is free to frolic.

I am illiterate.

Our children go to school

I will not go.

I'm glad they study

for not staying

arrant asses like me.

It is important to learn.

Hunger is a problem...

Of our time.

When it rains,

Ies plantations grow.

Without rain, they do not thrive

and people have nothing...

That's hunger.

And when nothing grows,

we are in the gutter.

Hunger, it's like that.

Those who govern act soon.

They, they have everything and we

...

They ask us to cultivate

a plant that does not work

and when we die of hunger,

Sometimes they send something.

But this is not always the case.

Or you get a little money, or

we have nothing.

It's always like that.

And then this is the beginning of 'famine.

Here we are in a farming

where hybrid lineages of chickens

amounted to fatten up.

It is here, about 4,500 animals, namely 4

OOO hens and c*cks 400.

The gender distribution

is therefore 1 to 10.

It is no more than three companies in the world

who breed and sell

of broilers.

Fertilization

occurs naturally via a rooster.

The hen

a reflex acceptance.

When the cock riding,

it does not move.

I hope we can

See in action.

It is within the lncubateur Schulz

of Lassnitzhhe, Styria,

where eggs are placed in an incubator.

OOO We produce 400 chickens a week

ready to be fattened.

Here, it is the area of preincubation.

Eggs are prepared for the incubator,

where they are heated slowly

to put them at room temperature.

All eggs are marked so that they are traceable

.

It is a stamp on each egg

with the code of the farm

so we can know

its provenance.

Here are preincubators.

Each contains 57,600 eggs.

I'll open one.

With artificial incubation

it mimics nature.

Is incubated at about 370 C.

All times

Ies eggs have turned

for that yellow does not stick to the membrane.

For

chicks feed on the yolk.

Here, the chicks have hatched.

The chick has a tooth on its beak

to get out of his shell

because it has not enough space.

The tooth falls out after two days.

The appendix is located there, you see.

The consumer does not know how the system works

.

One bump with a herd

that hatches, which should be high,

then, at some point shot.

During the production cycle of eight weeks

accidents can happen,

even if it seems impossible

the consumer.

People become indifferent and brutal

To get their way.

Why?

Car in high places,

there is no one

that began in the bottom.

I have nothing against academics

but all those people who are studying at school

and leave university

a license or PhD

no longer have any link with their roots

.

They see agriculture

like most people,

namely as this

in pubs, idealized.

But it has nothing to do with reality

.

The market is only interested in price.
