Civilization depends on our expanding ability to produce food efficiently, which has markedly accelerated thanks to science and technology.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
The future of our nation depends on our ability to produce food and fiber to sustain the world.
We need the humbleness and clarity to see that our food, while benefitting from technological advances, has benefitted even more from free ecological resources: Cheap energy, lots of water everywhere, and a stable climate.
Really advanced civilization is based on advances in energy.
Progress in civilization has been accompanied by progress in cookery.
Even as the population doubled from three to six billion, we managed to race ahead with all kinds of technological and scientific events in agriculture - from using more fertilizers to mechanization to advanced plant breeding.
In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.
It's become more readily apparent that we need to be growing our own food and growing more things organically.
Without civilization, we would not turn into animals, but vegetables.
We are already producing enough food to feed the world. We already have technology in place that allows us to produce more than we can find a market for.
