BEYOND GOVERNMENTS: PHILANTHROPISTS AT THE TABLE
In an interview, Howard C. Buffett, heads a foundation targeting food security, shared his experience as a philanthropist, the challenges he has faced, and the lessons learned. He considers himself a farmer, and he had spent most of his adult life involved in agriculture. He can always talk to farmers as a farmer, understand their problems and needs, and see what they do differently. He's talking about the kind of standard project in which an NGO would say, they want to do a three-year program with 3,000 beneficiaries in this particular area. They are going to provide them seeds and fertilizer, and they are going to train them a little bit. They work in countries and regions that they know and understand, and where they have relationships. It takes time to make progress, and they do not have the time or people to significantly expand their efforts. Thus, they prefer to focus on what and whom they already know.

WE HURT OURSELVES BY OPTING OUT OF BIODIVERSITY TALKS
A powerful, far-reaching agricultural issue has been overlooked by the U.S. Senate, an issue that affects all humankind-the conservation and sustainable use of the world's animals, plants and ecosystems. The world is getting smaller and needs a global effort to preserve its biological diversity; unfortunately, due to inaction, the United States will not participate fully in this effort. However, the United States will now be a silent bystander because the Senate recessed without ratifying the treaty by its deadline. Knowing the potential impact of biodiversity on medicine, biotechnology, agriculture and pharmaceuticals alone, it is incomprehensible that the United States has relinquished its negotiating position. We live in a world where fewer than 20 plant species produce 90 percent of the food supply and we live in a country where over 99 percent of commercial crop acres are planted with plant species introduced from foreign countries. We are dependent on our ability to constantly adapt varieties of plants and animals to overcome disease and enhance yields necessary to feed our rapidly expanding population. As a country we rely on the world's supply of diverse plant and animal genetic material. World interdependence has never been more evident than in the struggle to produce food.

Farm woes: Easy \cure' isn't best
Some wish to increase acreage in the Conservation Reserve Program, a program formed to reduce soil erosion by taking farmland out of production. But old habits die hard, as low commodity prices have resurrected the set-aside idea. The more acres set aside, of course, the less available farmland, which boosts agricultural prices. Both the CRP and the set-aside programs limit U.S. farmers' contributions to worldwide food production. They affect America's ability to be a consistent global supplier of food. And, contrary to popular belief, these programs even have a negative impact on conservation.Currently more than 30 million acres of farmland is idled, taken out of production at an average cost of $50 per acre per year for 10 years.If the priority was conservation, you could tile and terrace most farms for a onetime cost of about $50 per acre.

Buffett Foundation is to improve the standard of living and quality of life for the world's most impoverished and marginalized populations by investing in food security clean water, and providing humanitarian assistance in conflict and post-conflict regions.
