Back in the 1970's, The Population Bomb claimed that the goal to feed all earth's people had already failed, and that there would definitely be millions/billions dying of starvation by the end of the 20th century.
That didn't happen. Innovative human beings created countless improvements in the production of food.
One of them is Harry Stine of Iowa (not a household name). He founded the largest private seed company in the world and has 900 patents, all while coping with dyslexia and mild autism.
He thinks he can double the world's output of corn, earth's most popular crop.
"[S]ome of the most impressive and fundamentally important advances on Earth are occurring today in agriculture, and the global epicenter is America’s heartland. . "
