Challenge to Canberra World Population Outstrips Food

The Freedom from Hunger Campaign led by FAO and UNICEF seeks lasting relief from hunger by boosting self sufficiency in developing areas. It highlights poor yields, funds mechanisation and better farming, and cites Sri Lanka as a model where outboard motors and motorised boats tripled catches. Australia will contribute to these projects and asks for support.

Australian Aid To Field Projects

The Australian National Committee for the Campaign reports planned aid, led by Patron-in-Chief Governor-General Viscount Lord De L'Isle and Patrons Prime Minister Menzies and Leader of the Opposition Calwell. Australian funds will back fertiliser driven food production in Ceylon, milk schemes in India and Pakistan, buffalo health research, regional fish farming, irrigation training for 20000 farmers in East Pakistan, egg and poultry programs in India and Burma, and a Southeast Asia nutrition school with location undecided.
