This nonprofit organization develops laptops with relative high performances and low costs, this to close the intellectual gab between thirds world countries and western societies.
Lot of third world countries suffer from hungry, this because a big part of their soil is unusable for agriculture activities and those counties are often overcrowded. Beside this, they have a smaller variety of food to create a balanced diet, this makes that a lot of people (children) havent their daily amount of vitamins and minerals. All this results in under development of the body, eye illnesses,
A solution would be to create by the use of biotechnology food that grows on poor soils and contains all the needed vitamins and minerals. But, the knowhow for this kind of technology is present in western countries, often in laboratories sponsored by multinationals with only commercial interests. By this the manipulated food is only available for those who can afford it.
But, there are some multinationals that have the heart on the right place and modified their patent so that poor third world countries can use it without paying the high taxes connected to these patents.
An example is the production of golden rice this variety contains a lot of vitamin A, normally its absent in rice. But by modification of the rice, they developed a variant that produces betacaroteen. This substance is transformed into vitamin A by our body.So by this variant even a tedious diet know supplies the needed amount of vitamin A.
