Read the following text and answer question based on the text
A Potential Solution: Farm Vertically
The concept of indoor farming is not new, since
hothouse production of tomatoes, a wide variety of
herbs, and other produce has been in vogue for some
time. What is new is the urgent need to scale up this
technology to accommodate another 3 billion people.
An entirely new approach to indoor farming must be
invented, employing cutting edge technologies. The
Vertical Farm must be efficient (cheap to construct and
safe to operate). Vertical farms, many stories high, will
be situated in the heart of the world’s urban centers. If
successfully implemented, they offer the promise of
urban renewal, sustainable production of a safe and
varied food supply (year-round crop production), and
the eventual repair of ecosystems that have been
sacrificed for horizontal farming.
It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow
most of the crops we now take for granted. Along the
way, we despoiled most of the land we worked, often
turning verdant, natural ecozones into semi-arid deserts.
Within that same time frame, we evolved into an urban
species, in which 60% of the human population now
lives vertically in cities. This means that, for the majority,
we humans are protected against the elements, yet we
subject our food-bearing plants to the rigors of the great
outdoors and can do no more than hope for a good
weather year. However, more often than not now, due to
a rapidly changing climate regime, that is not what
follows. Massive floods, protracted droughts, class 4-5
hurricanes, and severe monsoons take their toll each
year, destroying millions of tons of valuable crops. Don’t
our harvestable plants deserve the same level of comfort
and protection that we now enjoy? The time is at hand
for us to learn how to safely grow our food inside
environmentally controlled multistory buildings within
urban centers. If we do not, then in just another 50
years, the next 3 billion people will surely go hungry,
and the world will become a much more unpleasant
place in which to live.

Development must be less about growth, more
about wellbeing
Sustainable development will only succeed if politicians prioritise people’s needs over economic progress, says new report
People and their wellbeing need to be at the centre of development, with less emphasis on economic growth, according to a new report, but this requires philanthropic and development organisations to challenge current thinking. “Development is political,” said the final report of the Bellagio Initiative, a six-month exploration into the future of philanthropy and international development. “Not everyone can be a winner at the same time, but if no one among the winners is prepared to give up just a little in order to reach politically sustainable solutions, then we will all lose out. The real wellbeing challenge is not just to find ways to live well, but for us to find ways to live well together.” Care work was cited as an example of an area that would receive greater attention under the new approach. Care for children and the elderly — work often done by women — is systematically undervalued and overlooked in the development agenda, said the report.
Based on the text above, judge the following item.
Politicians are becoming aware of the need to focus on people’s wellbeing to promote development.
