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

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] (10)
