Secretary of Agriculture Eyes Victory in War on Hunger
Secretary of Agriculture says victory over world hunger could come in 10 to 20 years aided by sound research and the Food for Peace program. He cites FAO talks, U.N. cooperation, and World Food Program, noting food aid helps but cannot solve hunger alone. He highlights U.S. contributions, including 140 million tons of food shared in a decade, and urges faster progress while recognizing barriers in both developing and developed nations. The emphasis remains on increasing agricultural productivity and economic growth to meet needs and prevent inflation fuelled by food costs.
