The creativity of the human brain is immense, according to a research conducted by Torrance in 1961, identified lack of education and resources for working out ideas were some of the limiting factors of creativity among children. The fourth industrial revolution and immerging circular economies mostly depend on technologies, knowledge, and skills. Presently, in most of the developing countries, people earn for foods or in other words market hunger to generate labor for service-oriented employments. Hence, most of the children seek service-oriented jobs and discontinue their education in the early stages. They receive unhealthy foods and become sick during adulthood. Whatever they earn goes for food and medicine and this is the vicious cycle they suffer.

Food security and the ability to have nutritious foods will decide the quality of human resources of the developing countries and therefore, feeding developing countries and improving their knowledge and skills will have positive impacts on circular economies in developed countries as well as developing countries.

Therefore, primary production, value addition, and marketing must be coordinated to have sustainable ecosystem services and maintain resilience for future generations. At this juncture, it is very important to develop a global movement or a common model for spiritually coordinated natural resource sharing for production.
