The key is (lies in)

Feeding people is to have more rice and produce rice faster.

He believes that the key to feed the world is to produce more and faster rice.

He thinks there is only one way to do this.

–

By crossing different kinds of rice, he can cultivate a new high-yield rice.

More than any primitive plant.

He believes that the only way is to cross different kinds of rice, so that a new variety with higher yield than any previous rice can be cultivated.
