“In the last 100 years, German agriculture has increased agricultural production by about threefold, thus proving that Thomas Robert Malthus ' Malthusian theory , according to which agricultural production cannot keep pace with the increase in population, is incorrect. If such an increase in yield was achieved in the past with relatively simple means and methods, it is much more possible in the age of highly developed technology and science. It only depends on the will of the people how they can use their soil to generate high and sustainable yields. "(Kleinmachnow in September 1957, Walter Kiel)
