Abstract:
Major challenges in the fields of agriculture and natural resources are attaining greater visibility to increasing sectors of our population. One major area of concern is the supply and cost of food both here at home and worldwide. This concern is signaled in a number of ways. The recent awareness of cost of food, particularly meat and vegetables, has been the subject of television features, editorials, newspaper articles and considerable treatment by the media as well as being a personal concern to all of us. A major editorial in the Wall Street Journal on March 26th of this year deals with "The Somber World Food Outlook." The Sunday Business and Finance Section of the Washington Post, May 13, 1973, featured an article, "Fear of World Famine Easing, but the United States has Company in Food Mess." These are but two of many current references dealing with the Nation's and world's preoccupation with food supply.
