Growing up in Ethiopia in the 1980s and ‘90s, Sara Menker saw the devastating effects of drought and famine firsthand. Later as a commodities trader on Wall Street, Sara realized that a major driver of food insecurity around the world was a lack of good data to predict weather events, crop yields, and food prices. That realization led Sara to found her company, Gro Intelligence, in 2014. This week on How I Built This Lab, Sara shares how Gro Intelligence uses a combination of artificial intelligence and human expertise to help private companies, nonprofits, and governments better understand agricultural markets and address global food challenges. Plus, Sara talks about building the Gro team and the importance of founders understanding all of the different jobs within their companies.

THE THESIS: Just as Joe Biden cannot understand what the scheming and evil people are doing to use under cover of Covid, he doesn't get it on energy or food.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Matthew 9:35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. What Did Jesus Actually Have to Say about Money? THE NEWS & COMMENT: [AUDIO] - President Macron attempts to explain the reality of the petroleum markets to the Figurehead [AUDIO] - Oil reached 'peak' prices, food still on the rise: Billionaire supermarket owner  . . . United Refining Chairman and CEO John Cats-imat-idis, who is also the billionaire owner and CEO of New York City supermarket chain Gristedes, weighs in on whether inflation could start to come down soon. Northern Ireland will need to lose more than 1 million sheep and cattle to meet its new legally binding climate emissions targets, according to an industry-commissioned analysis seen by the Guardian. In Indiana, 9,200 acres of farmland to be used for a massive solar farm In May 2022, a number of experts started speaking out about the inevitability of coming food shortages. The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres warned of "the specter of a global food shortage in coming months" unless international action is taken,6 and The Economist featured "The Coming Food Catastrophe" on its cover.7 During the 2022 World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, told attendees that "the anxiety about access to food at a reasonable price globally is hitting the roof,"8 and President Biden, in March 2022, told reporters that food shortages are "going to be real."9 A May 30, 2022, Reuters report10 showed the global food price index had risen 58.5% above the 2014-2016 average as of April 2022, due to a convergence of "post-pandemic global demand, extreme weather, tightening food stocks, high energy prices, supply chain bottlenecks ... export restrictions and taxes" combined with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Together, Russia and Ukraine account for as much as 12% of all globally traded calories,11 making the timing of the conflict a particularly perilous one for the world. Not surprisingly, countries that are heavily reliant on imports have seen the steepest food price increases. In early April 2022, Rockefeller Foundation president Rajiv Shah and Sara Menker, founder of Gro Intelligence, published an op-ed12 in The New York Times blaming "Putin's war" for the looming food crisis but, clearly, we were already on the path toward global famine long before Putin entered Ukraine. Weather, for example — whether natural or manufactured — plays an important role. As noted by Shah and Menker, "historic drought" plagues many parts of the world, including the U.S. Midwest, Brazil, Argentina, North Africa, the Middle East13 and India.14 Meanwhile, China's agricultural lands are drowning under the "heaviest rains in 60 years."15 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As if rising sea levels and fiercer cyclones weren't enough to worry about, the climate crisis is already cutting crop yields and could lead to widespread food shortages. That's the grave warning from the United Nations, which cautions that farmers won't meet a projected 50% increase in food demand by 2050 if greenhouse gas emissions stay high.  In a special episode, Stephanie Flanders tackles how to feed almost 10 billion people, the projected population of the planet in three decades. She turned to four leaders in global agriculture at Bloomberg's New Economy Forum in Singapore for their insight. Technology will play a starring role, says Werner Baumann, chairman of German healthcare and agricultural giant Bayer AG. One Bayer project involves developing "short-stature" corn that resists stalk breakage and can be planted more densely. Cargill Inc. Chairman David MacLennan insists genetically modified organisms must be part of the solution, though GMOs are a controversial component of modern agriculture with significant opposition. Finally, the panelists had some ideas regarding a tweet from the world's richest man, who last month offered to put up $6 billion if a UN official could prove the money would solve world hunger. Sara Menker, chief executive of agricultural analytics firm Gro Intelligence, suggests Elon Musk's money would be best spent creating a new financial institution to help modernize how many crops are traded. More fundamentally, Musk's money could build roads and crop storage facilities so farmers in developing nations could more easily get their products to market, says Alloysius Attah of Farmerline, which helps farmers embrace technology.

This week, Tim Harford, senior columnist at the FT, joined to talk about the political brinkmanship on both sides of the Atlantic. Sara Menker, the founder and CEO of Gro Intelligence, discussed how agriculture data is grinding to a halt due to the shutdown. Former U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus talked about the federal probe into Huawei. Devin Ryan, Senior Research Analyst at JMP Securities, went through Goldman earnings. Then Bloomberg Opinion columnist Nir Kaissar discussed the life and legacy of Vanguard founder Jack Bogle. 

Sara Menker quit a career in commodities trading to figure out how the global value chain of agriculture works. Her discoveries have led to some startling predictions: "We could have a tipping point in global food and agriculture if surging demand surpasses the agricultural system's structural capacity to produce food," she says. "People could starve and governments may fall." Menker's models predict that this scenario could happen in a decade -- that the world could be short 214 trillion calories per year by 2027. She offers a vision of this impossible world as well as some steps we can take today to avoid it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sara Menker a quitté une carrière dans le commerce des matières premières pour comprendre le fonctionnement de la chaîne de valeur de l'agriculture mondiale. Ses découvertes ont engendré des surprenantes prédictions : selon elle, « on pourrait avoir un point de bascule dans l'alimentation mondiale si la forte demande dépasse la capacité du système agricole à produire de la nourriture. Les gens pourraient mourir et les gouvernements s'effondrer. » Les modèles de Menker prédisent que ce scénario pourrait arriver dans 10 ans (que le monde puisse perdre 214 trillions de calories par an d'ici 2027). Elle offre une vision de ce monde impossible ainsi que les démarches que nous pouvons entreprendre dès aujourd'hui pour l'éviter.

Sara Menker abandonó su carrera en el comercio de materias primas para descubrir cómo funciona la cadena de valor global de la agricultura. Sus descubrimientos han llevado a algunas predicciones sorprendentes: "Podríamos tener un punto de inflexión en la alimentación y la agricultura global, si la creciente demanda supera la capacidad estructural del sistema agrícola para producir alimentos", dice. "La gente podría morir de hambre y los gobiernos podrían caer". Los modelos de Menker predicen que este escenario podría suceder en una década... que el mundo podría tener un déficit de 214 billones de calorías al año para 2027. Ella ofrece una visión de este mundo imposible, así como algunos pasos que podemos tomar hoy para evitarlo.

Sara Menker deixou sua carreira de negociante de commodities para tentar resolver como o montante global da cadeia de agricultura funciona. Suas descobertas a levou a algumas previsões chocantes: "Podemos ter um ponto de inflexão na agricultura e na alimentação mundial se as demandas crescentes ultrapassarem a capacidade do sistema de agricultura de produzir comida", ela afirma. "As pessoas podem morrer de fome e governos caírem". Os modelos de Menker preveem que esse cenário poderá acontecer daqui há uma década -- o mundo poderá estar com 214 trilhões de calorias a menos por ano em 2027. Ela nos mostra uma visão desse mundo impossível, assim como alguns passos que podemos seguir, a partir de hoje, para evitar tudo isso.

Sara Menker beendete eine Karriere im Rohstoffhandel um die Wertschöpfungskette der globalen Landwirtschaft zu untersuchen. Ihre Entdeckungen legen einige erschreckende Prognosen nahe: "Es könnte einen Punkt geben, an dem der steigende Bedarf die strukturelle Produktionskapazität der Nahrungsproduktion übersteigt und die globalen Nahrungsmärkte kippen", sagt sie. "Menschen könnten verhungern und Regierungen zusammenbrechen." Menkers Model prognostiziert ebendieses mögliche Szenario in 10 Jahren -- dass der Welt ab 2027 jährlich 214 Billionen Kalorien fehlen könnten. Sie beschreibt die Vision dieser unmöglichen Welt und auch einige Schritte, um eine Ernährungskrise zu verhindern.

사라 멘커는 코미디티 상인을 그만두고 세계적 농업 가치 계통이 어떻게 운영 되는지 알아보기 시작했다. 그녀의 발견은 깜짝 놀랄 예측으로 이어졌다: "우리는 세계적 식량과 농업에 티핑 포인트가 생길수 있다며, 농업 시스템의 구조적 수용력이 수요를 앞질러 버릴수 있다고 말한다. 그녀는 사람들이 굶고 정부가 무너질수 있다고 말한다. 멘커의 모델은 10년뒤 생기는 시나리오를 예측한다 -- 세계에 매년마다 214조의 칼로리가 2027년때까지 부족해 질것이라는 것을. 그녀는 이 불가능한 세상에 이 사건을 피할수 있는 비젼을 제시해준다.
