Food's Future Revolutions
Yaqui farmer and community leader Pedro Valdez Baimea, 63, and other agronomists look out at the fields after a day's work in the town of Potam in the Yaqui Valley, near Ciudad Obregon, northern Mexico Oct. 6, 2008. After the pioneering agronomist, Norman E. Borlaug, introduced his "green revolution" of hardier seeds and chemicals in this region more than 60 years ago, he was credited with saving hundreds of millions from starvation worldwide. Today, in a global food crisis of lagging productivity and punishing prices, world leaders are calling for a second revolution, but it wont be that easy this time, experts say.(AP Photo/Alexandre Meneghini)
