Feeding The World Quotes

• Ahora afirmo que el mundo dispone de la tecnología -disponible o muy avanzada en el proceso de investigación- para alimentar de forma sostenible a una población de 10.000 millones de personas. La pregunta más pertinente hoy es si se permitirá a los agricultores y ganaderos utilizar esta nueva tecnología. Mientras que las naciones ricas pueden permitirse adoptar posturas de muy bajo riesgo y pagar más por los alimentos producidos con los llamados métodos "orgánicos", los mil millones de personas crónicamente desnutridas de las naciones con bajos ingresos y déficit alimentario no pueden hacerlo.

• The lesson about food is that the most predictable and the most orderly outcomes are always not the best. They are just easier to describe. Fads are orderly. Food carts and fires aren't. Feeding the world could be a delicious mess, full of diverse flavors and sometimes good old-fashioned smoke.

  Tyler Cowen

• Farmers since the beginning of time have been feeding the world very successfully without systematically abusing animals or destroying the environment. But we're breeding food that is less safe for us, it tastes much worse than it ever has in history, and it's wreaking havoc on the environment in a way that it never did in history before. All in the interest of it being cheap.
