Food production and world hunger in postwar era
The FAO notes that global food output rose about nine percent from 1934 to 1938 levels, yet per capita supply remains below prewar levels as population has grown. Europe and the Far East face inadequate supplies while Western Hemisphere producers, including Canada, must help. Production may rise in 1952, underscoring the duty of surplus nations to assist nations with low living standards.
