Answer to Question 1

Any of the controversies mentioned in the chapter may be used. Students should be able to give some ideas on at least one of these to explain differences of opinion.

Answer to Question 2

Students may respond by pointing to three or four of the specific contributions mentioned in the book, or argue more generally that the sector's large share of the population means that failure there will hurt most of the people, and the cost of importing food will be significant.
