I thought the comment about feeding the world while not causing damage was interesting. Keep in mind that this earth is meant for farming...if we're not farming, we're doing something wrong but if we're causing damage by farming, we're also doing something wrong.

Organic and sustainable methods for farming and becoming more readily available. Perhaps all the people providing education in Africa can teach these methods instead of westernizing their agricultural thinking.
