Beschreibung | Norman Ernest Borlaug war ein amerikanischer Agrarwissenschaftler, der für seine Bestrebungen und Arbeiten zur Verbesserung der Landwirtschaft 1970 den Friedensnobelpreis erhielt. |
Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless.
Man's survival, from the time of Adam and Eve until the invention of agriculture, must have been precarious because of his inability to ensure his food supply.
Almost certainly, however, the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind.
Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world.
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.
I am but one member of a vast team made up of many organizations, officials, thousands of scientists, and millions of farmers - mostly small and humble - who for many years have been fighting a quiet, oftentimes losing war on the food production front.
