“And finally, the romantics have portrayed the food crisis as demonstrating the failure of scientific commercial agriculture, which they have long found distasteful. In its place they advocate the return to organic small-scale farming — counting on abandoned technologies to feed a prospective world population of nine billion.”
That is from an essay titled “The Politics of Hunger” in Foreign Affairs published in 2008. I fully agree with Collier on this.
