Abstract
Although it is unfortunately true that gluts of food arise periodically in those areas in which there is least need for more food, it is equally true that a majority of the people now living on the earth do not have enough to eat, and unless the present rate of expansion in food production is greatly accelerated, their hunger will not be appreciably assuaged within the next decades. Thus, in the light of present population trends, the efforts now being made to solve the world’s problem of hunger are not realistic.
