water percolates into streams
and rivers and flows out to sea.
Rather than being simple H20,
this water carries a very heavy
load of pesticides, fertilizers,
and an array of other chemicals.
When they reach the sea, these
chemicals differentially affect
photosynthesis ln marine phyto-
plankton, the UtUe plants that
generate aU the food ln the sea.
The basic process that produces
food for all the life In the ocean
Is being disrupted by polluUon
from farmlands. There has been
a series of experiments showing
exactly how chlorinated hydrocarbons affect the photosynthesis activities of marine phyto-
plankton. It was to be expected;
chlorinated hycrocarbons are oil
soluble. In single cell organisms
one of the pUces they are sure
to tuen up Is In the lipid layer
of the cell membranes — precisely where photosynthesis goes
on. Thus, agricultural development on the land Is very much
reducing our potential for getting
food from the sea.
What about the Green Revolution? There Is a substantial number of people who think that tropical agriculture can be revolutionized by sending bags of
high-yield seeds to farmers. One
could only hold this point of view
If one knew virtually nothing about
economic development of underdeveloped countries, agricultural
economics, and agricultural
technology.
All the ballyhoo about the Green
Revolution really means that In
a few places, under carefully
controlled conditions, ln the first
year or two, very high yields have
been obtained. But what wtll happen when ihey attempt to spread
this to other farmers who are not

most cases. They have no money
to pay for the food.. What then
happens to a progressive farmer
who worked hard last year and

That is, of course, an oversimplification of agricultural
economics. Part of the economic
situation is the need for roads,
markets, ways of transporting
grains to market, and ways of
protecting grain from rats and
Insects  once  It Is harvested.
The consensus among people
who know something about agricultural economics, the tropics,
and the anthropology of food production and consumption Is that
the very best that can be expected
from the high-yield grains Is
some local relief, tn tbe long run,
that Is probably just as well. History is very clear; tt shows that,
whatever the amount of food produced, the population Is lokely to
grow to whatever size will allow
bare subsistence for everybody
on that amount of food.
If narrowly trained agronomists from developed countries
go to the tropics and try to start
an agricultural revolution, they
are likely to sow such great
quantities of Inorganic fertilizers
and pesticides that we could seriously diminish the harvest ot
food from the sea - not 10 years
from now, as we may anyway,
but essentially Immediately.
.Now about world-wide conservation. Conservationists have realized for a long Ume that small
parcels of land set aside vrould
not be sufficiently buffered from
man's Influence to preserve representative flora and fauna. It has
now become very clear that the
smallest parcel that we can
meaningfully preserve ln this day
and age Is the planet Earth Itself. Remember that chlorinated
hydrocarbon pollution Is worldwide. It will not spare the raptorial birds ln all of our national
parks, and this, In turn, will Inevitably lead to dramatic changes
in  thc  flora and fauna of those
Smog Is now altering the enUre
climatic pattern or the earth. A
recent UNESCO conference gave
us 20 years before the entire
plane! started to become uninhabitable because of smog. The
smog curtain goes all the way
around the earth. It 4s reducing
the amount of sunlight coming In.
There ts a variety of drasUc
things that lt can do to the weather. Climates have always changed
but previously they have changed
rather slowly. At the moment
when we are most overextended
In food production efforts, we
are doing the maximum to alter
our climatic patterns. Agriculture Is completely dependent on
climate, and rapidly changing
climates In any direction mean
greatly reduced agricultural production. And, of course, rapid
climatic change would also spell
doom for things like redwood
groves and the Everglades.
Putting aside a park here and
there Is laudable, but not enough.
Unless we attack the worldwide
problem, putting aside parks Is a
