The perfect cow. Here's the new goal of Bill Gates
As a philanthropist, Bill Gates is constantly investing in new projects that aim to combat poverty and spread disease. The latest investment by the man best known for the foundation of Microsoft aims to create the perfect cow, the BBC says.Gates will have invested $ 40 million in a non-profit organization called Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines (GALVmed) that aims to create a cow that has milk production similar to that of Europe. In the same way, we try to develop the genetics of these cows so that they can withstand high temperatures like those that are felt in Africa.Despite this goal of Gates, there have been several experts who have pointed to the likelihood that cows and dairy will contribute to environmental degradation. Faced with these warnings, Gates explains that "the fact is that there are many poor people who depend on livestock and not only for nutrition and for income."
