Description: "Today more than three quarters of a billion people go hungry in a world where food is plentiful. In this eloquent and illuminating volume, a distinguished scientist sets out an agenda for addressing this ever-worsening situation.".

"The original Green Revolution generated new technologies for farmers, creating food abundance. A second transformation of agriculture is now required - specifically, Gordon Conway argues, a "doubly green" revolution that stresses conservation as well as productivity. He calls for researchers and farmers to forge genuine partnerships in an effort to design better plants and animals.

He also urges them to develop (or rediscover) alternatives to inorganic fertilizers and pesticides, improve soil and water management, and enhance earning opportunities for the poor, especially women."--BOOK JACKET.
