think he is more of a scientist,although he works in the fields like a farmer.His main purpose is not to make a profit for himself but to study agriculture and use that knowledge to improve farming

around the world.Can you think of any other major development that would make a difference to would hunger?Write out your ideas and then compare it with your partner.(I think developing other hybrid
