Only a World Wide Plan to Conserve and Develop the Land Can Help to Solve the Problem of Food Production
Fascinating pictorial map illustrating the relatively small area of the the earth's landmass which is suitable for cultivation and urging action. The map was published in "Map Review" a "Fortnightly" production of the Bureau of Current Affairs.
The map text notes in part:
With 2,500 Million people in the world, we therefore have only 1.6 acres each, which is insufficient to clothe and feed us except where the best possibleuse is made of the land. . . . Already 20 to 30 million die every year through lack of food.
Only a world wide plan to conserve and develop the land can help to solve the problem of food production -- most countries are squandering their soil (America loses half a million topsoil acres annually).
