"Contrasting sharply, in the developing countries represented by India, Pakistan, and most of the countries in Asia and Africa, seventy to eighty percent of the population is engaged in agriculture, mostly at the subsistence level"

This quote by Norman Borlaug highlights the stark contrast between the established and establishing nations. In the developed countries, only a little percentage of the population is taken part in farming, while in the establishing countries such as India, Pakistan, and the majority of the nations in Asia and Africa, a much larger percentage of the population is taken part in farming, mainly at the subsistence level. This suggests that most of the population in these countries depend on farming for their income and are not able to produce sufficient food to fulfill their standard requirements. This quote highlights the requirement for establishing nations to invest in farming innovation and facilities in order to improve the lives of their people and minimize poverty.
