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.

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

Man can and must prevent the tragedy of famine in the future instead of merely trying with pious regret to salvage the human wreckage of the famine, as he has so often done in the past.

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.

There are no miracles in agricultural production.

There are 6.6 billion people on the planet today. With organic farming we could only feed four billion of them. Which two billion would volunteer to die?

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