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

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

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