You’ve bought the ‘do it our way or you starve all the little children’ line.

“In a village in India’s poorest state, Bihar, farmers are growing world record amounts of rice – with no GM, and no herbicide. Is this one solution to world food shortages?”

Most of the 3rd world poverty comes from the small plot holders inability to afford ‘green revolution’ inputs. Special seeds, herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers cost money. Money they don’t have because they don’t have the amount of land necessary to generate that profit. Until now it’s been a circular means of failure for them.
