Hungry for an alternative

Tewolde Berhan believes that organic farming is the only real solution
to famine in Africa.Sally J Hall meets the quiet but formidable
Ethiopian who has become a thorn in the side of the GM foods lobby
27 June 2005
Organic farming is a slow-to-grow, low-yield industry favoured by
middle-class parents who have the time and money to meander the
overpriced aisles of Waitrose, deliberating over wild rocket or white
asparagus. Right?
Wrong, says Tewolde Berhan. He thinks organic farming could be the
solution to Ethiopia's famines. The chief of the country's Environment
Agency has worked his way through academia and government to become one
of the world's most influential voices in the biotechnology field.
Berhan believes that, properly applied, his approach could save the
lives of many of the thousands of Africans who die every day as a
result of hunger and poverty.
