Billions at risk from wheat super-blight
« on: April 03, 2007, 01:45:23 PM »
Not apropos of anything. I just thought "super-blight" was an attention-grabber.  :)

-----

"This thing has immense potential for social and human destruction." Startling words - but spoken by the father of the Green Revolution, Nobel laureate Norman Borlaug, they are not easily dismissed.

An infection is coming, and almost no one has heard about it. This infection isn't going to give you flu, or TB. In fact, it isn't interested in you at all. It is after the wheat plants that feed more people than any other single food source on the planet. And because of cutbacks in international research, we aren't prepared.
