Abstract
The rapid increase in world population makes it vitally urgent to increase food
production. The governments of developed and developing countries must be
willing to take action not only in the face of hunger, but concentrate on long range
aspects of the food problem. World food supplies are, and probably will be, distributed
in accordance with purchasing power or effective demand and not according
to nutritional requirements. A permanent solution to the problem includes population
control and major efforts to plan agricultural research directed toward a long
term solution of the agricultural production and food supply problem, particularly
in those climatic zones where very little research has been historically undertaken.
