With their resources and broad commitment to a better quality of life throughout the world, they can provide the leadership and money that will again draw public interest – and, in time, governmental commitment – to investment in agricultural advances in the poorer nations.
These nations need strong public institutions for agriculture and significant additional investments in research.
