Food Shortage Looming if Crop Focus Isn't Altered As a child I was told to clean my plate because there were people starving in China. It seemed silly. How would getting sick help hungry Chinese? That was in the 1950s, the heart of the green revolution. After college I was ready to farm as one of the green revolutionaries. I was ready to feed the world and open the cornucopia to everyone. Now, 40 years later, I admit I was wrong -- high-tech agriculture wasn't the answer. There is still plenty of hunger in the world, and it looks like our daily bread could get a lot more expensive.

Food Shortage Looming if Crop Focus Isn't Altered

As a child I was told to clean my plate because there were people starving in China. It seemed silly. How would getting sick help hungry Chinese? That was in the 1950s, the heart of the green revolution.

After college I was ready to farm as one of the green revolutionaries. I was ready to feed the world and open the cornucopia to everyone. Now, 40 years later, I admit I was wrong -- high-tech agriculture wasn't the answer. There is still plenty of hunger in the world, and it looks like our daily bread could get a lot more expensive.
