Abstract
Continuing discussions about the world food problem reflect a global concern that the minimum quantities of food necessary for survival should be available to all people at all times. Although the concern is worldwide, the problem itself is specific to certain groups of people in particular locations. Further, the most severely affected areas are not static but change over time.
