• Agriculture is not crop production as popular belief holds - it's the production of food and fiber from the world's land and waters. Without agriculture it is not possible to have a city, stock market, banks, university, church or army. Agriculture is the foundation of civilization and any stable economy.

• Cuando los recursos se degradan, empezamos a competir por ellos, ya sea a nivel local en Kenia, donde tuvimos enfrentamientos tribales por la tierra y el agua, o a nivel mundial, donde luchamos por el agua, el petróleo y los minerales. Así que una forma de promover la paz es fomentar la gestión sostenible y la distribución equitativa de los recursos.

• Not to wax nostalgic about the 1970s, but back then people got upset when they saw injustice. They got tired of seeing our air, land and water polluted.

Politicians had no choice but to take notice.

• The word
  was born in the blood,
  grew in the dark body, beating,
  and took flight through the lips and the mouth.
  Farther away and nearer
  still, still it came
  from dead fathers and from wondering races,
  from lands which had turned to stone,
  lands weary of their poor tribes,
  for when grief took to the roads
  the people set out and arrived
  and married new land and water
  to grow their words again.
  And so this is the inheritance;
  this is the wavelength which connects us
  with dead men and the dawning
  of new beings not yet come to light.

  Pablo Neruda

• Across the continent, on the shores of small tributaries, in the shadows of sacred mountains, on the vast expanse of the prairies, or in the safety of the woods, prayers are being repeated, as they have for thousands of years, and common people with uncommon courage and the whispers of their ancestors in their ears continue their struggles to protect the land and water and trees on which their very existence is based. And like small tributaries joining together to form a mighty river, their force and power grows.
