.....many [environmental lobbyists] are elitists. They've never experienced the physical sensation of hunger. They do their lobbying from comfortable office suites in Washington or Brussels. If they lived just one month amid the misery of the developing world, as I have for fifty years, they'd be crying out for tractors and fertilizer and irrigation canals and be outraged that fashionable elitists back home were trying to deny them these things.....

And they’re still doing it. It is a crime that elites, particularly European elites, have foisted the false religion of “organic farming” on the developing world. I have traveled to Africa with a man who runs highly productive farms here in the US. In fact, he specializes in taking marginal land, and through technology, turning it into incredibly productive land. The potential for improving productivity in Africa through technology is staggering, but the powers that be in the Third World are stuck on the ridiculous idea that “organic” farming is superior.
