Food Is The Moral Right Of All

Without Food, Man At Most Can Live But A Few Weeks; Without It All Other Components Of Social Justice Are Meaningless.

Even If You Could Use All The Organic Material That You Have--the Animal Manures, The Human Waste, The Plant Residues--and Get Them Back On The Soil, You Couldn't Feed More Than 4 Billion People. In Addition, If All Agriculture Were Organic, You Would Have To Increase Cropland Area Dramatically, Spreading Out Into Marginal Areas And Cutting Down Millions Of Acres Of Forests.

The Forgotten World Is Made Up Primarily Of The Developing Nations, Where Most Of The People, Comprising More Than Fifty Percent Of The Total World Population, Live In Poverty, With Hunger As A Constant Companion And Fear Of Famine A Continual Menace.

I Am But One Member Of A Vast Team Made Up Of Many Organizations, Officials, Thousands Of Scientists, And Millions Of Farmers - Mostly Small And Humble - Who For Many Years Have Been Fighting A Quiet, Oftentimes Losing War On The Food Production Front.

We Are 6.6 Billion People Now. We Can Only Feed 4 Billion. I Don't See 2 Billion Volunteers To Disappear.
