"Faced with the problem of dwindling productivity, scientists now fly a new
banner to replace the moth eaten flag of the Green Revolution. They are
boasting the colours of generic revolution. They promise to obtain by genetic
modification fifteen tons of wheat or rice per hectare and 200 tons of maize.
We are entitled to doubt this promise because soils by loosing their organic
matter and biological activity are becoming the most limiting factor of plant
production " from
the book " Regenerating the Soil "
