Annotation:

Author: Joshua Lederberg. Date Written: June 5, 2002. KW: the headline is misleading; it is not so much "food" from our factories at issue (at current energy prices), but specific nutrients; The idea of using synthetic supplements for LDC nutrition is not as bizarre as may appear -- we use an anlogous approach in providing iron, iodine, and folic acid and other B-vitamins in various setting; it is also common practise in poultry and some other animal husbandry. As of 2002 this discussion may be mitigated by the development of genetically manipulated crops, in which biosynthesis takes the place of ex vivo artefacts; The same can be said about SAM52 proposal about AID in the form of fertilizer; jl 6/5/02
