Seek to Avoid Glut in World Agriculture
War Food Administration outlines a system to prevent surplus stock after hostilities end. Purchases align with foreseeable demand and relief items from surplus army and lend lease stocks are drawn before domestic purchases. A surplus sales division will dispose of current stocks to make room for new supplies as needed. The plan supports efficient farming and rural welfare and proposes a new international agricultural organization for advisory input and global nutritional uplift.
