NABC Report 14: Foods For Health: Integrating Agriculture, Medicine and Food for Future Health
Author
McGovern, George
Abstract

The World Food Summit’s resolution is to halve the number of chronically hungry people in the world—from 800 million to 400 million—by 2015. The United Nations, with the United States in the lead, need commit to providing a nutritious school meal to every child in the world. Agricultural biotechnology can be a means of increasing agricultural productivity—particularly in developing countries—thus helping to increase food production while preserving natural ecosystems.
