Millions die each year, either of outright starvation or from infectious diseases that their weakened bodies cannot withstand. And still, after twenty years of preaching that private markets would pick up the slack, these impoverished communities are further away than ever from using improved seeds, fertilizers, and small-scale water management technologies.
相反，这些政策使数亿人民陷入更加无望的贫苦和饥荒之中，甚至更容易受到干旱、虫灾和土壤贫化的影响。每年有数百万的人死去，有的是直接饿死的，有的则死于孱弱的身体无法抵抗的传染病。私有市场会接手的宣传进行了二十年，然而这些贫困地区距离改良种子、肥料、以及小规模的灌溉技术却越来越远。
