Bill Gates: "Well, it's incredible how much productivity we've gotten from improved seeds. And the most amazing thing is it avoids your having to use a lot of pesticides that are both expensive and have negative effects. And, you know, our crops are way more productive than the original, you know, like corn was like a twentieth as many kernels as, you know, we have today."

"You know, I think if if we care about the people or subsistence farmers, you know, they're experiencing climate change, which will mean sometimes too much rain, sometimes drought. If we in, you know, provably safe ways improve their seeds, their kids won't be malnourished. You know, they'll be able to survive one bad season of weather because they will have produced enough in the other years. So, you know, I'm I'm a big fan of helping poor people eat. Rich people can do whatever they want." https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1896918914619121984
