First Green Revolution: Accomplishments and Apprehensions
The Honorable William S. Gaud, Administrator Agency for International Development Department of State
Five months ago today I addressed another meeting of professionals in the field of development. The International Development Conference, which was then meeting here in Washington, asked me to discuss "What We Have Learned in Fifteen Years of Development Assistance." I said that one of the lessons we have learned is the paramount importance of the world food problem. And, I added, the developing nations are beginning to apply this lesson. They are making their agriculture "more intensive, more productive".
