ABSTRACT

This book contains four parts, with 16 chapters. The first part covers man's requirements for food and the adequacy of his diet. The next part concerns the over-all world potential for food production. Part Three covers the problem of food storage and distribution from harvest to harvest. The last part is concerned with the general subject of world starvation and its control. No specific food commodity or product is emphasized.

There is a great need for a regular review and discussion of this subject, to consider the problems in light of current developments and future predictions. This book adequately reviews the subject and delineates the current and future problems. The author presents a number of plans for producing more food, especially protein, for the hungry people of the world.

The subject matter in this text should be of interest and concern to all food scientists. However, it is specifically recommended to all concerned with the adequacy of the diet of the people of the world today and in the future.
