Charles C. Mann Quote

The better way, he decided, was to raise yields all over the nation—to target Mexico as a whole, rather than only the Bajío. As Vietmeyer put it, Borlaug thought the objective should be to feed everyone; not just the hungry. Opt to feed the whole populace. Produce enough not only to feed every man and woman in Mexico but also to export to other food-short nations.
