Seeds of Change: The Green Revolution and Development in the 1970's

About this book

This book tells the story of the turnaround on the food front. its heroes are new high-yielding cereals and the men who developed them. These new seeds are triggering an agricultural revolution in poor countries such as Pakistan, India, Turkey, the Phillippines, Kenya, and Mexico, a revolution that makes the earlier agricultural takeoffs in the United States and Japan seem minor by comparison.
