At the recent Asean Media Forum on Food Security held in Singpore July 27, 2012, Pratibha Thaker of the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), said that there is a New Mantra on Food Security.
A few years ago, the Mantra was: "If you feed a man a fish, he will eat for a day. If you teach him to fish, he will be able to fish for the rest of his life."
With the rising population, the New Mantra is: "If you teach me to farm, educate, provide good input and organize, then whatever the challenge I can join together with my peers and we will fashion our own solutions."
