The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind.

We are 6.6 billion people now. We can only feed 4 billion. I don't see 2 billion volunteers to disappear.

Man seems to insist on ignoring the lessons available from history.

Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world.

Civilization as it is known today could not have evolved, nor can it survive, without an adequate food supply.

Almost certainly, the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world. Yet today 50 percent of the world’s population goes hungry. Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks; without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless.

Everything else can wait, agriculture can’t.
