approximately in the world one billion

of people are hungry they suffer

food insecurity

while between 40 and 50 percent

of the food is thrown they listened well a

of every seven people who live in this

planet does not know if he is going to eat today

while half of the food also

the trash but the people who have

this need is to find a

solution

eat logical junk no

when trash

it seems incredible we do not make a

exercise they think the meals that they

they throw in their houses if every Argentine who

has food that chooses what to eat each

day is occupied one day a week of

feed one of those who

needs to

Argentina’s hunger is over

in the half-full sets the food

that is worth hillside and that days later they

we throw in the packages that are sold

directly to the trash the ripe fruit

at the oil festivals on Sunday

between four and five million

Argentines do not know if they are going to eat today

while the other 35 choose what

we like it since we are talking about the

part of the chain where the waste

it is minor and family family contempt

the fao estimated that between 30 and 40

percent of the food is lost before

to get to the supermarket

then it’s easy not with a seventh of

my food one in seven days to the

week

the one that threw his the problem is finished

Argentina ‘s hunger

the problem of hunger is truly

a problem for us

unfortunately the facts show

that for most is a problem of

they not our

this is my daughter here is in her first

visit a soup kitchen and those are two

little friends that did happen invited him to

all who think what is the main

difference between tasting and the little friends

for me that day was and I always say

it was the day that changed me it was a before

and a later paradigm changed

I always tried to help but now for

that day I realized

the only difference that qatar had

had luck luck of the nation a

family constituted with love and

containment resources with food and the

government do you want the bad

Luck San Menas can change has to

be these can be nurtured first for

After studying educated do

work as something that motivates

longs to get to attract guys with good

luck to the world tomorrow

I want to show a phrase that I went

picking up from family friends

known are the two currencies because

then the father or the mother waits for him

when I get it

I’m sure they’ll hit him from tomorrow

today there is no other left if you give once

then they always come to touch the

bell and if they do not have many

alternatives well to ask you what they

well what you have left

this last one do not give the parents the

they spend silver on alcohol and drugs

It may be true but it would be much better

the phrase do not give a nougat silver

a lot of work not for those girls

solve, get a chance to

change that reality that I do not know is

a subject of luck

I believe that not only to overcome the

problem of hunger in Argentina and

many others that we have to overcome

first one much greater than that of

disinterest indifference to overcome the

Argentine hunger problem we have

to understand that those guys are a

problem of all or better

everyone’s responsibility but I’m not going to

tell them that everything is lost is

all wrong but quite the opposite I will

tell them that the world is changing

that we are changing that we are each

more people that we decided to take on

the problem as our own and that we understand

that we can change the reality when

those guys a titanic task help

guys equal to our children who

they have the same innocence the same love

so they have a plate of food every

day after working five years in

this I am a convinced to overcome the

disinterest the problem of hunger in

Argentina and in the world is merely a

management problem of thousand 967 that

created the first food bank

finally ix in the united states there are people

trying to manage trying to do

that supply and demand intersect the offer

the food that is thrown away and the demand the

people who need that food but that

he has no money to buy it

the food banks

we recover food that for some

motive lost the commercial value but

which is perfectly suited for the

consumption and we get it to the

people who need it

think of a food distributor

wholesaler that I buy food to the

capture of the event that is going to throw the

conditional what accommodates it classifies it as

we say with volunteers thousands

of volunteers around the world and what

distributes to social soup kitchens that

previously audited and enables the bank

of food we do not buy food but

we pay spending money on salaries in

operating costs

there are more than 1,000 food banks in

the world we have networks in the countries

continental networks and we have the afternoon

global we have congresses we come together

all the bankers we call it

we exchange success stories

experiences we advise each other and

most important all those banks

they are run by people

directories that work ad honoren

There are several success stories of

countries and networks that have revolutionized the

reality of their countries

united states for example that with 200

food banks and and 60,000

social cares recover includes a

million 300 thousand tons of food

annually egypt which was put as

strategic goal eradicating the

Hunger in Egypt for 2020 and today in

way to get it fed 12

million people or mexico that with

30 of the 60 food banks together

with the producers of fruits and vegetables

and with state funds to pay the

salaries of day laborers recover 60

thousand tons of fruit and vegetables per year

than before when market prices

they did not give

they just let him rot in the field

Argentina we are 16 food banks and

we had eight thousand tons per year if

we reached 2 250 thousand people

if we make a point of view of

effort I can assure you that we are

messing with everything and many times

we feel that we paddle in the sweet of

milk as we say if we analyze how

country

Argentina is an agro-exporting country that

produces food for 400 million

people to have a number

comparable grains cereals what

called soy corn wheat we produce

Around 100 million tons

annual

it is easy to conclude that as

food recuperators we are in

diapers almost zero

the good news is that we know

perfectly what we have to do

to drastically change revolution

Argentina what it has to do with

recover from food and not what

we invented we did not

leading banks in the world which

most successful

we have the directories interested the

people interested in changing reality

we have a company we were convincing

company to donate food and

resources we have thousands of volunteers

Argentines and we have the confidence of the

soup kitchens

we have the management model more

efficient than any state

but there are no laws lacking laws

positive that do not force anyone but

laws that encourage this model to be

has applied and they put the topic on

table

we need a law dated from

expiration as it has united states

that allows you to consume food

expired but that does not mean any

health risk

quite the opposite that they nourish and that they

allow to consume in the dining rooms

social

we need tax incentive

the donations

we have to make it more business

for companies to donate to throw by

example in Colombia it is allowed to deduct

100 percent tax on the

donations from areas donations

importance to 100% and when you see if

of food rises to 120 in Argentina

we are practically at zero and by

last we need a law of good

Samaritan in Argentina the donor

food is responsible for the

food until it is consumed in the

dining room and obviously many companies or

the possible legal contingencies

happiness

this model works the world all the

years we discover the benefits of

apply it

for example, the most recent ones have been

discovered that the campaigns carried out

by truly multinational companies

locally

have a very positive impact to the

brand image these companies and they have

transformed into the main topics

positive social networks the famous

social network is anarchy that both you

it costs the directional company and it does not

only that but these campaigns

they do with local people has generated that the

greater motivation of the employees of

these companies because people feel

proud of belonging to a company

giant but who cares and worries about

the neighbors who work in that same

company but this model works and

The world works because in Argentina

we continue choosing hunger because

we choose to generate that gigantic footprint

ecological to produce food that

Then they pollute again when they are

like garbage to landfills

because those laws are not there and the subject

the answer has to do with what

We speak before tasting the way the

parents neighborhoods that have no voice

where to start raising the

problem sometimes it costs them to take care of themselves

the most basic things of your health

imagine what opportunity they have to

generate a change of this type

the only possible result that end

eating garbage will not think but they have

votes

we have to finish with the blame the

they have the politicians when we

we worry about what will be such

or which politician at the time of voting does not

relate the villa miseria us

who are in the same group as

they the civil society we spent

talking about us and those for

say it in an educated way we do not have

to convince that thieves in all

the neighborhoods and that by dressing or talking

in a certain way

that does not define a person the most

the people who live the families

honest education in many cases were

stolen are people that we decided to forget

out of disinterest because we do not care

the problem that they have the chance to

get out of that situation

they are almost almost almost non-existent

the only chance we have is

help the guys in the bank of

Rosario food five years ago

four people decided to invite

eat more than one child per week

today we reach 30,000 people

we hope to recover distribute more than

one million kilos of food this year

and we do it with a leverage 23

times that is to say for each weight that

we spend on land and operating costs

be 23 pesos of food to the boys

we are convinced that with the other 15

banks are going to get the laws

necessary to recover the food for

those five million jobs that

needs to

I invite you to change the chip to change

the paradigm

I invite you to assume that those guys

they are also your responsibility

thank you very much

[Applause]
