worldwide famine was just around the next corner.

warned, would soon exceed their supply, leading to (2)______

occasional years of good harvests, the world’s food (4)______
crisis has remained just around the corner. Most

yields in an experiment. Elsewhere, rice experts in
the Philippines are producing a plant with few stems (9)______
and more seeds. There is no guarantee that plant
breeders can continue to develop new, higher-yield
ing crops, and most researchers see their success to (10)______
date as reason for hope. [br] (1)
