Around the middle of the 20th century, there was a resurgence of Malthusian predictions of mass famines in the populous countries of Asia whose agriculture had not yet benefitted from science. Perhaps the most famous catastrophist of this era was Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb. Remarkably, it took just a handful of scientists – principally plant breeder Norman Borlaug – to avert the predicted famines.
