Population Rise Food Supply Lags in Early Postwar Era

FAO experts estimate aggregate production of key food crops in 1951 and 1982 will be slightly above 1949-50 and about nine percent above prewar 1934-38. Population has grown about 13 percent since 1936, yet regional gains vary. Some surplus regions show gains while European and Far East outputs lag, increasing dependence on Western Hemisphere supplies. There are 57 ICAO member countries operating over 90 percent of international air transport. Canada has 225 law teachers.
