warned, would soon exceed their supply, leading to (2)______

occasional years of good harvests, the world’s food (4)______
crisis has remained just around the corner. Most

and more seeds. There is no guarantee that plant
breeders can continue to develop new, higher-yield
ing crops, and most researchers see their success to (10)______
date as reason for hope.
