I read him a couple sentences from his July 29 Wall Street Journal article. “Within the next four decades, the world’s farmers will have to double production … on a shrinking land base and in the face of environmental demands caused by climate change. Indeed, [a recent Oxfam study concludes] that the multiple effects of climate change might reverse...
Adapting To Climate Change Through Technology:Norman Borlaug’s Legacy Lives On, Offering Hope To Billions
