Civilization depends on our expanding ability to produce food efficiently, which has markedly accelerated thanks to science and technology. Nina Fedoroff Read Quote
There’s almost no food that isn’t genetically modified. Genetic modification is the basis of all evolution.

We need to continue to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet can’t support many more people. Nina Fedoroff Read Quote
