NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Bill Gates says the global hunger crisis is so immense that food aid cannot fully address the problem. What\u2019s also needed, Gates argues, are the kinds of innovations in farming technology that he has long funded to try to reverse the crisis documented in a report released Tuesday by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.<\/p>\n

Gates points, in particular, to a breakthrough he calls \u201cmagic seeds,\u201d crops engineered to adapt to climate change and resist agricultural pests. The Gates Foundation on Tuesday also released a map<\/a> that models how climate change will likely affect growing conditions for crops in various countries to highlight the urgent need for action.<\/p>\n

In assigning technology a pre-eminent role in addressing the world\u2019s food crisis, Gates puts himself at odds with critics who say his ideas conflict with worldwide efforts to protect the environment. They note that such seeds generally need pesticides and fossil fuel-based fertilizers to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
