Abstract:
The promise of better food through science was recognized in two initiatives promising to generate growth in jobs, markets for farmers, and manufacturing. One was the Plant Sciences Initiative, the other the Food Processing Innovation Center. Collectively, they promised to produce greater crop numbers, pioneer crop varieties, and lower farm animals’ feed expense. Collectively, they may also help to assure the supply of food needed to feed the world’s population, projected to be 9.6 billion by 2050.

Abstract:
Although he is in competition with fast-food giants like Hardees and Bojangles, Maurice Jennings has built Biscuitville into a $30 million business since it began in 1975. The company does not do giant franchises. Nor has it gone nationwide; all but five of the stores are within an hour's drive of the headquarters in Winston-Salem. Biscuitville sticks close to its biscuit theme and cuts out a dinner by closing at 2 p.m. Staying with these approaches has kept the company in dough.
