" ... But GMOs had similar promise. Who would oppose crops that could resist drought? Who wouldn’t want fruit that stayed fresh longer? As scientists developed these plants, their advances were seen in the research community as great strides toward feeding the world’s burgeoning population while arable land dwindled. After all, some 50 years ago Norman Borlaug became one of the most celebrated people in the world when his genetic crossing experiments produced a high-yielding wheat strain that was credited with saving lives in countries such as India and Mexico. We still call it, with admiration and enthusiasm, the “Green Revolution.” But had Borlaug used today’s genetic modification technology instead of genetic backcrossing, he might have found himself out of work rather than the winner of a Nobel prize. ...

" ... Environmental Impact Fonio is grown in the Sahel region of West Africa, south of the Sahara Desert in arid soil that’s not highly arable. It’s drought resistant, requires little water, grows easily in poor soil without the need for pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers and it’s one of the world’s fastest growing grains. Fonio’s deep roots restore topsoil and carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, countering the deleterious effects of monoculture farming where only one crop is farmed in an area, depleting soil nutrients. Fonio farmers use regenerative techniques like intercropping (planting different crops together in the same fields) and crop rotation to regenerate the soil and bring the desert back to life. ... "
" ... It’s important to realize that most deserts are not in their present condition because of some immutable natural law. Much of the current desert land in the world today was once arable land. For instance, the Iraqi desert areas were once the "green crescent" that was home to some of the world’s earliest civilizations. Intelligent human intervention can restore such degraded land to its former glory. Several initiatives and techniques are being implemented to reverse the desertification of our world. And each has its own set of positives and strengths. ... "
" ... The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is plagued by acute water scarcity, limited arable land and a generally arid climate that is unsuitable for agriculture. Even intensive conventional farming techniques offer low yields, considering temperatures can go as high as 50 degrees Celsius. This essentially leaves organic farming, which requires conformity to a range of criteria, including little to no chemical input, without much scope in MENA. ... "
" ... “Making crops more productive so we can produce more than we need just to survive is important. As the global population grows, we will need to produce more with less land. There will be more people, more roads, more housing and less arable land.” ... "
