In the last century, as we learned more about genes, we were able to devise ways of accelerating evolution.
One of the really remarkably beneficial aspects of genetic engineering is that much of the previous methodology for controlling pests and so forth is through chemicals that affect a very broad spectrum of insects, for example, or fungicides that control fungi.
India has the opportunity to be a leader in genetic engineering, It has institutions that no other country has.
We need to continue to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet can't support many more people.
