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

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.

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

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

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.

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

There can be no permanent progress in the battle against hunger until the agencies that fight for increased food production and those that fight for population control unite in a common effort.
