M.S. Swaminathan €“ One Man's Quest for a Hunger-Free World

This inspirational biography of M.S. Swaminathan was specially written for the delegates attending the Youth Employment Summit held at Alexandria, Egypt, in September 2002. The youth of today have much to learn from the renowned agricultural scientist who has made it his life mission to rid the world of poverty and hunger. As TIME Magazine put it, while naming him as one of the twenty most influential Asians of the 20th century, he has "used his skills in genetic engineering and his power of persuasion to make famine an unfamiliar word in Asia." Environmentalist, conservationist champion of women's empowerment visionary, Swaminathan is indeed a role model for young people all over the world.
