Sustainable. We see and hear these terms in our daily lives, but what do
they really mean? Is organic food healthier than conventional? Do
pesticides and herbicides cause cancer? What do science and research
tell us? What do our emotions tell us? Author Hiram Drache spent years
researching, documenting, interviewing, and writing about these terms;
inside is his attempt to answer these questions and more! Dr. Drache s
thoughts include: In many respects this has been my most difficult
writing project, mainly because I was not fully at ease with the subject
matter. But when I thought of all the criticism and obstacles that
Norman Borlaug had faced while working for decades alongside people who
were suffering from hunger, I felt that his great deeds had to be
defended, and the facts needed to be exposed. We also must inform and
educate those who have been misled, and are misinformed, who want to
prohibit the world s most progressive agriculturalists from using the
latest in mechanical and scientific technology to help those who are
concerned in our society overcome its most pressing problem hunger.
