Shortage of food blamed on politics
Cincinnati based note: Dr Roy Kottman, agricultural expert, says global food could feed three to four times current population but political ideologies and distribution issues constrain production. He spoke at a national fertilizer conference in Tennessee Valley Authority. He notes 3.6 billion acres cultivated, 4.2 billion more virgin land could be brought under cultivation, with Africa Latin America and the Soviet Union holding the biggest chunks. He cites Asia and Near East as nearly fully cultivated and urges more international trade. He argues land use incentives in industrialized nations to keep farmland, while utilizing unused land in less developed countries. He criticizes United States energy usage relative to population and output, urging balanced view of resource use.
