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

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

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.

Plant diseases, drought, desolation, despair were recurrent catastrophes during the ages - and the ancient remedies: supplications to supernatural spirits or gods.

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

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

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.
