How do we solve the problem of global poverty? In the past and still today, the answer has been to drop food to hungry people world-wide at great cost to the donor countries. While that may be a good emergency solution, the number of people living in poverty continues to grow and the practice is quickly becoming unsustainable. Only The Brave, a non-profit organization, aims to eventually end food drops by providing the poor with sustainable solutions they can operate themselves. Check out their beautifully animated piece below, then head to otbfoundation.org where you can explore new solutions and even take a virtual stroll around a village they are revitalizing.
