Good thing the people stopped Norman Borlaug from doing the same thing in Mexico many decades ago. Feeding people is so overrated.
One of the reasons why Costa Rica is at the top of the index is that people live long lives in a simple and sustainable way.
The country is one of the blue zones of the worldwhich means a kind of region where the inhabitants live longer than the rest of their fellow citizens in similar economic conditions and where they live even longer than the people of developed countries[2].
Besides Costa Rica, there are four more blue zones in the world
your logic doesnt apply.
