Heinrich Wohlmeyer

Nature to be commanded first has to be obeyed. (Francis Bacon, 1561 -1626, the founder of English empiricism)

Nature's demise spells the death of agriculture. (Edouard Saouma, former General Director of the FAO, opening address to the Conference on Agriculture and the Environment, 15-19 April 1991)
