It's two breeding cycles for maize.

Like everyone else, we grew maize.

Ethiopian maize farmers produced two years of bumper harvest.

led to an 80 percent collapse in maize prices in the country.

You gonna look pretty funny trying to eat corn on the cob with no fucking teeth!

The farmers get three to four times the yields that they would with maize.

I lived in Ireland, built the first straw bale houses in Ireland, and some cob buildings and all this kind of thing.

In Ethiopia, for example, the variation in maize prices from year to year is as much as 50 percent annually.

The next three biscuits are the foods that we decide to feed to livestock, the maize, the wheat and the soya.

By 2030, if the maize, or corn, varieties, which is the dominant crop 50 percent of the nutrition in Southern Africa are still in the field in 2030, we'll have a 30 percent decrease in production of maize because of the climate change already in 2030.

Ethiopia's agricultural market is 30 percent higher than South Africa's grain production, and, in fact, Ethiopia is the second largest maize producer in Africa.

I don't say let's go back to the Copper Canyons and live on corn and maize, which is the Tarahumara's preferred diet, but maybe there's somewhere in between.

They would get dentures, and if you got dentures, you weren't going to be able to eat corn on the cob, you weren't going to be able to eat apples, you weren't going to be able to eat steak.

Poor Lazarus there, chattering his teeth against the curbstone for his pillow, and shaking off his tatters with his shiverings, he might plug up both ears with rags, and put a corn cob into his mouth, and yet that would not keep out the tempestuous Euroclydon.

If you include not just the food that ends up in shops and restaurants, but also the food that people feed to livestock, the maize, the soy, the wheat, that humans could eat but choose to fatten livestock instead to produce increasing amounts of meat and dairy products, what you find is that most rich countries have between three and four times the amount of food that their population needs to feed itself.
