C'est parce qu'elle devra associer productivité élevée et viabilité écologique que la nouvelle révolution est dite «doublement verte». Fondamentalement destinée à réduire la pauvreté et l'insécurité alimentaire, elle ne s'appuie plus sur des bases purement techniques. Elle doit partir de la demande des populations pauvres, créer des emplois pour ceux qui n'ont que peu ou pas de terre, s'occuper autant des petites exploitations que des autres, de l'ensemble des régions agricoles et non plus seulement des régions à potentiel élevé.

Harmful agricultural pesticides evaporate from farmland and are carried across oceans and continents by wind to the frozen Arctic, which scientists believe acts as a sponge for a wide range of pollutants.
