‘The reason it’s called Famine Early Warning Systems Network, is that if nothing is done, a situation may develop into a famine.’ – Molly Brown
NASA research scientist Molly Brown measures vegetation in areas of Africa vulnerable to food insecurity and famine. Brown and other scientists have developed a Famine Early Warning System Network, which uses satellite measurements to help determine if and when a part of Earth needs food aid.
EarthSky’s Lindsay Patterson speaks with Molly Brown in this 8-minute podcast.

What is Gus Grissom capsuil doing here or it could be the Molly Brown that was on the Titanic.
Food has always been a problem. Teach, educate and share knowledge is the only way. Oh, and collect seed and grow, grow, and grow. Every home should have a garden and green house for year round use. I like the living greenhouse for every person on the planet. It would be very cost effective, people will no longer contract food bourne illnesses and die, and people will be healthier overall. Knowledge, such a simple thing, lets share and not profit for once, do, the moral thing, help the world! CC
