ROME—Microsoft founder Bill Gates on Thursday called for a “digital revolution” to alleviate world hunger by increasing agricultural productivity through satellites and genetically engineered seed varieties.

“We have to think hard about how to start taking advantage of the digital revolution that is driving innovation including in farming,” the US billionaire philanthropist said in a speech at the UN rural poverty agency IFAD in Rome.

“If you care about the poorest, you care about agriculture. We believe that it’s possible for small farmers to double and in some cases even triple their yields in the next 20 years while preserving the land,” Gates said.

He gave as one example of innovation the genetic sequencing that allows cassava farmers in Africa to predict how individual seedlings will perform, shortening the time it takes to develop a new variety from 10 years to two.

Another key development is the use of satellite technology developed by defense departments to document data about individual fields, as well as information videos of farmers discussing best practices to help others.

“If we don’t do this, we’ll have a digital divide in agriculture,” he said.

Gates also defended the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the developing world and large-scale farm land investments by foreign states in the developing world – both highly controversial issues in the aid community.

“You should go out and talk to people growing rice and say do they mind that it was created in a laboratory when their child has enough to eat?” he told reporters at a small media roundtable after his speech.

“The change in the way mankind lives over the last several hundred years is based on adoption of innovative practices and we simply haven’t done enough for those in the greatest need to bring these things,” he said.

On the issue of land investments that are referred to by their critics as “land grabbing,” he said: “It’s not actually possible to grab the land. People don’t put it on boats and take it back to the Middle East.

“If we could have clear guidelines there could be more land deals and overall it could be very beneficial… The truth is the person who is most at risk on a land deal is the person who is putting the money in.”

Gates also unveiled $200 million (150 million euros) in new grants from his foundation to finance research on a new type of drought-resistant maize, a vaccine to help livestock farmers and a project for training farmers.

“Investments in agriculture are the best weapons against hunger and poverty,” he said, adding that his charitable foundation had committed $2.0 billion for farmers and was working on seven crops and one livestock vaccine.

Gates called for a new system of “public scorecards” for developing countries and UN food agencies that would measure things like agricultural productivity, the ability to feed families and farmer education systems.

“It’s something that can be pulled together over the next year,” he said.

“When I meet with an African leader, I’d love to have that report card. I have a report card for health…. Without the scorecards, the donors tend to fund fad-oriented, short-term things,” he told reporters.

The technology pioneer also criticized the work of the UN food agencies in Rome: the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Food Program (WFP) and the International Fund for Agriculture and Development (IFAD).

He said the current food and farming aid system was “outdated and somewhat inefficient” with a lot of “duplication.”

For these organizations to go digital will take “a lot of time,” he said.

Asked about the need for wider reforms of capitalism to help the poor, he said: “How do you get rid of its excesses, including the finance people who are paid these huge salaries, without hurting the beneficial things?”

He added: “I wish those Wall Street traders would have gone… and worked on maize and used their mathematical models to look at phenotype versus genotype. It’s clearly imperfect but it’s the best system we have.”

Breakthrough Breast Cancer Isle of Man hosted a special Valentine’s celebration and with the help of Celton Manx raised over £3,000.

The Isle of Man branch of Breakthrough has raised over £1million for breast cancer research since its inception and has recently won an Isle of Man Newspapers Award for Excellence for its work in the Island community.

The Valentine’s dinner dance was held at the Palace Hotel & Casino on Saturday 11th February. The lavish evening began with pre-dinner drinks and entertainment from talented harpist Leo, followed by a sumptuous three course dinner and wine. The David Holland Trio played throughout the evening and Simon Fletcher serenaded guests with a selection of love songs.

Celton Manx Executive Director, Bill Mummery said: ‘We were delighted to support the Isle of Man branch of Breakthrough again for its Valentine’s dinner dance. Events such as this help to raise awareness of the charity’s fantastic work as well as raising much needed funds for cancer research. The amount raised on the evening is testament to the charity’s loyal supporters and the hard work of the organising committee.’

Angie Aire, Chair of the local Breakthrough group said: ‘We are fortunate to have such high-profile corporate supporters as Celton Manx and Appleby. Both are long term supporters and as well as attending our events they also encourage their employees to actively support our work throughout the year through taking part in events such as the Bra Dash and the New Year’s Day Bra Dip. We could not continue to function at such a high level on the Island without this support and we thank them most sincerely for it.’
