You can't build a peaceful world on empty stomachs and human misery.

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.

Cereal production in the rain-fed areas still remains relatively unaffected by the impact of the green revolution, but significant change and progress are now becoming evident in several countries

Therefore I feel that the aforementioned guiding principle must be modified to read: If you desire peace, cultivate justice, but at the same time cultivate the fields to produce more bread; otherwise there will be no peace.

Without food, man at most can live but a few weeks; without it all other components of social justice are meaningless.

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

Everything else can wait, agriculture can’t.
