In the current issue of National Geographic, Joel K. Bourne Jr. has produced one fo the clearest, most well-balanced explanations of the Global Food Crisis that we’ve read. More importantly, he asks serious questions about how humanity might be able to cope with the crisis.
The article looks at whether a reprise of the Green Revolution — with its traditional package of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation, supercharged by genetically engineered seeds — is really the answer to the world’s food crisis. Forty years of intensive irrigation, fertilization, and pesticides have not been kind to the soils of India. Do we need another Green Revolution in Africa? What are the alternatives?
We urge you to read the full article on the National Geographic Website.
