Abstract

Asia has the world's two most populous countries, China and India, and in general has a growing problem and limited arable land. The struggle to feed Asia requires a balance of domestic production and carefully planned importation. The Green Revolution of the 1960s was the turning point towards a period of optimism for global and Asian food production. New demands for grain have arisen due to increased demand for meat and other animal products, as income levels especially in China have increased. Biotechnology has a role to play in continuing grain productivity increases, but reduction in waste and storage losses has more immediate potential for easy gains.
