SYNGENTA CEO'S COMMENTS AT LAST WEEK'S WORLD FOOD PRIZE
Oct. 17, 2011
Source: Syngenta news release
Just two days before World Food Day, Mike Mack spoke at the 2011 World Food Prize in Des Moines, USA.
"As the world's appetite grows larger and productivity lags, it's clear that we must urgently take action," said Mack. "We have the tools and the know-how. But somehow, it just doesn't get done.
"All this begs the question: are we, the global community, even having the right discussion on agriculture?
?If we were, would we spend our time as we do debating how safe is safe, regulating new technologies down to the right of the decimal point?
"Life and death issues are begging our attention and if we were serious, we'd be focusing on different discussions. This is particularly so when it comes to sustainably boosting agricultural productivity."
