“The Green Revolution of the last century largely increased the world’s capacity to feed itself but now we need a sustainability revolution,” said José Graziano da Silva, Director General, Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), presenting the report with Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
"This includes tackling high-input and resource-intensive farming systems that impose a high cost to the environment,” he added, noting the continued degradation of soil, forests, water, air quality and biodiversity.
Hey look, it’s all the stuff The Economist was talking about! Thanks for backing me up.
Once again I’m left wondering if you genuinely have poor reading comprehension or you’re just a troll. I already linked you an article showing how China is currently improving rice farming to make it resource intensive, this is an actual practical way to address problems the article you’re quoting from outlines. What The Economist proposes is nonsense with a whiff of racism. Not surprised that it’s the narrative that you find appealing though.
The Economist recommends switching to new methods and seeds, as I referred to in my summary. It’s tough for many farmers to risk doing so when a failed year from a new method or seed could leave them ruined. Hence why it recommends governments should help insure them during the transition especially. Yup, I didn’t quote every sentence. Sue me.
