My favorite Don Draper line from the television series Mad Men is "If you don't like what is being said, change the conversation."

For years, the world debated whether Africa's smallholder farmers were the problem or the solution to a persistent hunger crisis shaped by a popular but false assumption that many were too backward to succeed.

Over time, both evidence and experience debunked this dangerous myth. Africa's rural farmers became the focus of the continent's future with the understanding that global efforts to connect them with local markets and the larger economy would be the key to solving hunger.

Now, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and Sam Dryden of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation argue that digital technology has the power to fundamentally shift how African farmers work together to turn small plots of land into lasting economic opportunity and food security.
Theirs is a timely call-to-action that positions technology at the heart of innovations designed to galvanize progress and reshape what is possible, from the drought-ridden fields of Ethiopia to the climate change conference in Paris.

"Until now, it has been very hard to get information to or from smallholders, preventing their efficient integration into the broader economy," write Annan and Dryden in the latest issue of Foreign Affairs. "But mobile communications can shatter this isolation and enable the creation of a new food system suited to contemporary needs."

At World Food Program USA, we've compiled a list of seven tech innovations beyond the realm of possibility in Don Draper's era that are changing the conversation about how to creatively and efficiently tackle the global hunger challenge.

What could the globe look like in 2080? Debuted at the climate change conference in Paris, the UN's food insecurity and climate change vulnerability map examines how climate change could increase hunger across the globe based on whether and how the world's leading countries take corrective action.

Incorporating five years of research among WFP's food security experts and scientists from the Met Office Hadley Centre, users can select a time - present day, 2050s and 2080s - and take a glimpse into the future to see how the fight against hunger would look according to variations in future adaptation efforts and levels of emissions. It's an exciting new tool to help policymakers contextualize how the decisions of today may impact the possibilities for tomorrow.

As civil conflicts rage in countries far from the United States, one challenge is how to help everyday people connect with the fight against global hunger.

In November, WFP launched Share the Meal - a smartphone application to help individuals support significant relief efforts across the globe through their mobile phones. With the tap of a button, anyone with a desire to give back can "share the meal" to support children and families in the most critical hunger hotspots.

At a time when smartphone users outnumber hungry children by 20 to 1, the power to change the world is now in our pocket. Since the launch of the app, more than 3 million meals have been shared through WFP's first mobile app to support Syrian refugees living in Jordan. This specific campaign has so far reached 70 percent of its goal, and it's the newest way to harness the power of the smartphone for good.

In countries like Jordan, as profiled in last year's 60 Minutes profile on WFP, Syrian refugees are shopping for food in local markets using electronic food cards, or e- cards.

Designed to replace traditional staple foods and commodities like rice and corn with funds that food assistance recipients can use to purchase fruits, vegetables, and grains from local markets, e-cards are delivered and redeemed using cell phone technology so refugees can decide what to cook for their families.

By easily recording and tracking transactions, e-card technology improves transparency, eliminates the cost associated with food distribution and storage, and helps boost the local economy through the support of vendors that accept them.

Because no single food crisis is the same, a nimble relief operation relies on a variety of tools that help local communities and their partners respond to what is needed on the ground.

Plumpy'Sup is one type of Ready-to-Use Food (RUF) typically used in emergency situations and to prevent and treat moderate malnutrition for children under five years old. It's a tech innovation in nutrition science that infuses a peanut paste with a long list of micronutrients that can be consumed from the comforts of one's home.

Plumpy'Sup is packaged in one-day sachets, are ready to eat, and can be consumed in small quantities to supplement one's regular diet. In areas without electricity or clean water, RUFs like Plumpy'Sup give hungry families better options to fight hunger and malnutrition.

One criticism of the Green Revolution that spread across Asia and Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s highlighted the unintended consequences of environmental degradation that came from the adoption of agricultural practices boosting worker productivity and plot yields. Ever since, many entrepreneurs have explored how tech innovations can help balance progress and wise environmental stewardship.

In countries such as Sudan, Uganda, Haiti, and Sri Lanka, women have historically used firewood to cook food within their homes and support local school feeding programs.

Inspired by UN recommendations on Safe Access to Firewood and Alternative Energy in Humanitarian Settings (SAFE), fuel-efficient stoves are designed to lessen the environmental degradation that comes from cutting down trees and reduce the need for cooking fuel, while in the process reducing violence against women who travel long distances to collect firewood and lower the health risks associated with smoke and indoor pollution.

In their Foreign Affairs piece, Annan and Dryden also highlight two projects in Ethiopia designed to equip millions of local farmers with "cutting-edge, highly tailored" information: The creation of an agricultural hotline and a digital soil information system.

The hotline, created in 2014 by Ethiopia's Agricultural Transformation Agency, has received nearly 6.5 million calls from local farmers. Through text messages and automated calls, roughly 500,000 users receive updated agronomic information to their cell phones to help plan their operations.

The same agency has plans to integrate this system with the Ethiopian Soil Information System, a digital soil map "analyzing the country's soils down to a resolution of ten kilometers by ten kilometers."

Have you ever searched YouTube to find the right video to learn a new skill?

Annan and Dryden also highlight the work of Digital Green, an organization that connects local farmers with their peers via video training conducted in local languages.

Exploring topics ranging from crop rotation to good water management, Digital Green's goal is to enhance farmer extension programs by marrying the power of digital with the credibility of local community leaders who can boost adoption rates of these new tools and concepts.

It's a new twist on ongoing efforts like WFP's Purchase 4 Progress program, which helps smallholder farmers improve their crop quality and boost agricultural production through better financial training, tools and assistance. WFP then purchases these surplus crops to source feeding programs in nearby communities, thus providing a stable market and tackling local hunger at the same time.

The world has made incredible progress in the fight against hunger since Don Draper's day - and thanks to technological innovations like these, a future of zero hunger is finally within our grasp.

During my investigation, I found that 3D food printing could help stop hunger.
It can use easily sourced food and make them into a meal that is rich in protein and other good stuff.
However, there are some downsides. A 3D food printer is pretty expensive and can be hard to get. One of the biggest reasons leading to hunger is that there is not enough food for everyone and expensive materials won't help it that much.
That's why I think that even though 3D food printing can help to stop hunger, it will not work as well as people think it will.

"The world's hunger is becoming ridiculous. There are more fruits in the rich man's shampoo than on a poor man's plate."
The World Food Day 2018, which is held every year on October 16, connects people from around the world to declare their commitment to eradicate worldwide hunger from our lifetime. This year's theme is "Our actions are our future. A #ZeroHunger world by 2030 is possible".
Facts about world hunger: Here are 5 innovative ways organisations are addressing world hunger by 2030:
1. Gene-Edited Crops

How will we feed 9 billion people by 2050? Gene editing is essentially a much quicker form of breeding. New companies are being set up to help evolve the nutrition of food with the promise of delivering high quality, trusted ingredients that are traceably produced for complete transparency. The powerful new gene editing technology known as CRISPR allows researchers to correct genetic defects, treat and prevent the spread of diseases and improve crops. The latest advancements could result in healthier food alternatives for consumers with the same great taste that they love.

2. Precision Agriculture

Advancements in precision agriculture, a farming management concept that incorporates internet of things (IoT) technology into farming techniques, offers another way to help feed the planet. It uses high precision positioning systems (like GPS) that are the key to achieve accuracy when driving in the field, providing navigation and positioning capability anywhere on earth, anytime under any all conditions. Agriculture companies are currently implementing technology ecosystems that combine unmanned tractors, drones, and other precisions equipment so that future farmers will be able to make smarter production decisions and increase crop yields, making farms more efficient.

3. Peer-to-Peer Networks

There are 500 million small-scale farmers around the world, who together grow more than 70% of the world's food. A new wave of social enterprises has risen to allow small-scale farmers connect with one another to solve problems, share ideas, and spread innovation. Wefarm, the world's largest farmer-to-farmer digital network, allows farmers to ask questions in their own language on anything related to agriculture, from battling a crop disease to best practices for growing cash crops. It uses machine learning and the power of the crowd to source the very best content and knowledge from a network of over 660,000 farmers, even via SMS.

4. Urban Farming

Food production must increase by 70 percent in spite of the limited availability of arable lands if we are to feed the 9.6 billion people projected to inhabit the planet by 2050. Vertical farming refers to the practice of growing crops indoors in vertically stacked layers or on vertically inclined surfaces inside structures. These indoor farming systems are designed to maximise crop yields while minimising environmental impacts. Moreover, by bringing farms closer to where people live, this farming method is expected to be both efficient and cost-effective by reducing transportation expenses. Elsewhere, year-round growing is possible with the Aquaponics process, which combines growing plants in water with fish cultivation and is also suitable for growing in urban spaces.

5. 3D Food Printing

3D food printing offers a range of potential benefits. It can be healthy and good for the environment because it can help to convert alternative ingredients such as proteins from algae, beet leaves, or insects into tasty products. As long as the ingredients can be puréed, it can be printed. Recent innovations have made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. The innovative technology also offers many possibilities to make the consumption of products like meat more sustainable and space travel more comfortable by introducing new ways of preparing a meal in space.

Southeast Asia has been quite successful in dealing with hunger issues in many of its countries, but progress on that positive path may soon be receiving an even larger push thanks to 3D printing technology and high tech, fabricated food.

With the numbers already looking pretty impressive, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) states that hunger or undernourishment in Southeast Asia was reduced from 30.6% (prevalence of undernourishment or PoU) in 1990-92 to 9.6% PoU in the 2014-16 timeframe. According to a recent analytical article by Tamara Nair regarding these issues, that doesn't mean the problem is solved, however, as the following areas are still seriously in need of a solution for citizens suffering due to hunger and malnourishment:

Along with a lack of good food or any at all, when Southeast Asians are eating, citizens are often subsisting on unhealthy foods, and it has been reported that due to issues in lifestyle, many of the more urban areas are reporting increases in non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even strokes.

Will 3D printing be able to come to the rescue for many of these areas? While we've certainly seen numerous other instances of 3D printed food, most of it has had a more whimsical bend rather than one of realistic self-sustainability for meals that real people eat, with examples so far such as 3D printed chocolate, and food to eat in space. If all the benefits of 3D printing were to be employed in this context, the results could indeed be the catalyst for turning around hunger and nutrition issues in Southeast Asia, but also other areas of the world, too.

First, with the ease in customization, user-specific meals could cater not just to health but to all the details of one individual, from age and caloric needs to particular dietary needs according to health issues or allergies. This could be a trend that translates to people everywhere. And while a shortage of food may often be the issue, here, much food waste would be eliminated as well. 3D printing is also much more environmentally friendly and, in many cases, offers greater affordability.

"A vibrant and healthy labor force is necessary for dynamic and growing economic region. They go together. Those interested in attempting to reduce nutritional deficits should look into all ways and means, including exploring new technologies to provide some of the answers," states Nair, a Research Fellow at the Centre for Non-traditional Security (NTS) Studies in the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

"We should not wait for a 'trickle down' effect of these technologies to reach us but embrace them at present as potential solutions."

With the advent of 3D printed food in such regions that are well-familiar with natural-and catastrophic-disasters, self-sustainability would be key, and while there may still be many other issues to deal with after such times, at least solving the sustenance issue would be major progress. Post-disaster times are notably fraught with issues in getting food to residents, especially for those living in rural areas that are hard to get to with supplies.

Transportation of food would be much less of an issue, and with local 3D printers and materials on hand, sustenance could be found much faster, even if it might not be considered the tastiest fare-for example, in the form of cubes filled with nutrients coupled with rice. Algae and insects are commonly accepted as nutritional sources, and this may translate more easily to fabrication. These foodstuffs can also be stored much more compactly and may prove to be easier to keep safe as well as recover after a typhoon, earthquake, or even a volcanic eruption.

"Food and nutrition insecurity are a mainstay in disaster-hit areas, especially extended periods of food insecurity, and chronic malnutrition," states Nair. "With minimized logistical concerns and reduced costs, it is not hard to see how...3D printing, where output is specifically designed to address the need, can be utilized effectively."

Hopefully, it will be quite compelling to see how all interested parties come together to explore the use of 3D printed food for greater successes in Southeast Asia. Both the government and private companies may be able to come up with a solution for eliminating hunger altogether, along with better disaster plans-perhaps too acting as a role model for many other countries. Discuss in the 3D Printed Food forum at 3DPB.com.

Nowadays, 3D printers are capable of 3D printing almost anything - even food! Food 3D printing is becoming more and more popular for a variety of applications. How do food 3D printers work though? Who can benefit from 3D printing food?

3D printed food art by Marijn Roovers.
Food 3D printing: how it works

Food 3D printing is actually pretty simple. Users fill up the food 3D printer's syringe-like container, which then pushes the food out at a steady rate to form layers. However, as its name suggests, this paste extrusion technology only tolerates paste-type ingredients.

One may believe that this is quite limiting when it comes to recipe possibilities, but when you think about it, almost anything can be made into a paste! The most common ingredients are chocolate, pancake batter and liquid sugar pastes, but it is also possible to 3D print with:

Mashed potatoes

Pasta, wheats and grains

Cookie dough

Dairy products

And more!

Of course, the ingredients must have at least some density and consistency to withstand different layers. For example, if you 3D print layers of liquid yogurt on top of one another, the result will probably just be a messy blob. Molten chocolate, however, can be 3D printed because it solidifies as it cools down.

Who is edible 3D printing for?

Food 3D printing suits just about anyone, from hobbyists to food artists, and from the military to astronauts. Indeed, this technology allows not only to customize the appearance of different meals, but also to tailor them to specific nutritional needs.

Food 3D printer prices are still relatively high though, so food 3D printing users are mostly professional at the moment.

It can be hard to dig up relevant information about 3D printed food. That's why, in our food 3D printer article, we try to provide a comprehensive overview of:

Food 3D printers available on the market
