Without Food, Man At Most Can Live

There Are No Miracles In Agricultural Production.

I Now Say That The World Has The Technology - Either Available Or Well Advanced In The Research Pipeline - To Feed On A Sustainable Basis A Population Of 10 Billion People. The More Pertinent Question Today Is Whether Farmers And Ranchers Will Be Permitted To Use This New Technology? While The Affluent Nations Can Certainly Afford To Adopt Ultra Low-risk Positions, And Pay More For Food Produced By The So-called "organic" Methods, The One Billion Chronically Undernourished People Of The Low Income, Food-deficit Nations Cannot.

The Green Revolution Has An Entirely Different Meaning To Most People In The Affluent Nations Of The Privileged World Than To Those In The Developing Nations Of The Forgotten World.

During The Past Three Years Spectacular Progress Has Been Made In Increasing Wheat, Rice, And Maize Production In Several Of The Most Populous Developing Countries Of Southern Asia, Where Widespread Famine Appeared Inevitable Only Five Years Ago

Yet Food Is Something That Is Taken For Granted By Most World Leaders Despite The Fact That More Than Half Of The Population Of The World Is Hungry.
