What do you think is the most important step that the global community can take to reduce hunger and poverty?:

Increase funding for agricultural research and investment

Recognize the important role that women farmers have in producing food in the developing world

Recognize the role of small farmers in food production and compensate them for carbon sequestration projects

What do you think of conservation banking (e.g. wetland mitigation banking or species banking)?

It is an effective way to ensure that endangered ecosystems and species are protected.

The concept is a good one, but much more regulation and oversight is needed to ensure continuous protection.

The practice is inherently flawed because the land or species damaged cannot simply be replicated or moved elsewhere.

The concept is dangerous; conservation banking makes it easier for companies to develop fragile areas.
