Good to realize that, despite all our challenges, we are making progress. Still 800 million people who go hungry every day and are undernourished. Let’s continue together & in a practical way to make a better life for them too.
Both the share and number of people who live in extreme poverty have fallen dramatically.
200 years ago, over 90% of the world population lived with less than the equivalent of 1.9 USD a day. Today this share is less than 10% (adjusted for prices).

Het halveren van de veestapel is gemakzuchtige, luie politiek.
De autostapel is ver-40-voudigd naar bijna 10 miljoen auto's. In 1980 stapten er 11 miljoen mensen op Schiphol, in 2019 77 miljoen. Het aantal koeien in 1984 was 2,5 miljoen en nu 1,5 miljoen. https://t.co/4SAFtFQ3h9
@BoerNu@Dacom Interessant. Wel opvallend dat een zware maailijn zo lang doorloopt tussen veel lichtere lijnen. Ook kg-meeting tijdens graanoogst geeft dit soort uitkomsten. Lastig om bruikbare conclusies te trekken uit deze waarnemingen.
Economic development is more, much more than assuming all individuals can be starting up and running a business. Also Africa needs small, mid size and larger companies. https://t.co/nPbdjVsanW
Cees is an extremely inspiring manager, very effective in developing countries where Agriterra gives a lot of good economic support advice under difficult circumstances. Thanks Cees, we had a great time together!
After working for Agriterra for 19 years, @CeesvanRij decided to end his work for Agriterra at the end of June. Our thanks to Cees are great and we will look for a way to express this in an appropriate way.
