The world is not producing enough food, and many poor families cannot afford to buy the food that is available. As a result, nearly a billion people, a sixth of the Earth’s population, do not have enough to eat. [...] The world needs a new green revolution. The Lugar-Casey Global Food Security Act, S. 384, introduced in February, could help launch one. [...] This new revolution won’t succeed without new tools, namely biotechnology and genetically modified (GM) seeds, to meet the enormous demands for increased production.
