#repost @bbcnewsindia… On a Sunday in Jaunti, a small village on Delhi’s outskirts, a hardened Indian farmer stretched out his hand to a visiting farm scientist. “Dr sahib, we will take up your seed,” he said.

The farmer’s faith would change India’s destiny. As Priyambada Jayakumar’s new biography The Man Who Fed India shows, Swaminathan’s life reads like the story of a nation’s leap from “ship-to-mouth” survival to food self-sufficiency - reshaping not just India, but Asia’s approach to food security.
