In 'Seed and Surplus', Bertrand Delpeuch says food security will only be possible if policies made in the rich north don't damage the poor south, if we don't expect a single model of production, if we adopt triangular food aid in emergencies, if we improve and enhance the role of women, deal with international debt and implement land reform. Plus reports about how drought resistant maize in Latin America could increase yield by 40% and the prospect of a perennial rice plant in Asia.
