Hunger is not an issue of charity. It is an issue of justice.

Jacques Diouf

Reducing hunger should become the driving force for progress and hope...

Jacques Diouf

In terms of the short-term objective [halving world hunger by 2015], the position I have always taken is that we don't need genetically modified organisms.

Jacques Diouf

Low-income people everywhere will be at risk of food insecurity due to loss of assets, absence of alternative livelihood options and lack of adequate insurance coverage from extreme weather events.

Jacques Diouf

I spent a lot of time on farms when I was young. My uncle and my dad owned a big farm.

Emeril Lagasse Chef

The term biodynamics - push it aside, it is verbosity. It doesn't matter a bit. One has to use words to make headings, that's all it is. It's rather like the stupidity in a picture gallery today where you have to write under it what the scene or person is. It is equally as nonsensical as that. Therefore to talk about biodynamic gardening, biodynamic horticulture, biodynamic agriculture and the French intensive system is merely a horrible heading of terminology.

Alan Chadwick

Agriculture is the most destructive industry that we have. More than coal mining and other extractive industries.

Allan Savory

Take agriculture, where we haven't done much, or sanitation; saying, "okay, we will be able to make a really huge effort there." It really energized the foundation and half of what we've gotten done in this last decade is because Warren [Buffett] trusted us.

Bill Gates Investor

We believe one magnificent highway of this kind [the Lincoln Highway], in actual existence, will stimulate as nothing else could the building of enduring highways everywhere that will not only be a credit to the American people but that will also mean much to American agriculture and American commerce.

Carl G. Fisher

Loss of genetic diversity in agriculture is leading us to a rendezvous with extinction--to the doorstep of hunger on a scale we refuse to imagine. To simplify the environment as we have done with agriculture is to destroy the complex interrelationships that hold the natural world together. Reducing the diversity of life, we narrow our options for the future and render our own survival more precarious.

Cary Fowler Agriculturalist
