Preventing Pandemics Requires Funding

Abstract

This article traces the roots of the Green Revolution to programs undertaken by the Rockefeller Foundation that invested in agricultural research and extension services, first in the United States, then in Mexico, then in other countries in Latin America and Asia by means of the IRRI and other similar institutes. The focus shifted during the late 1960s to international centers that addressed development globally, including on environmental issues. – AI-generated abstract.
