Resumen
Descripción
In spite of the grim forebodings of the doomsday men and the depressing defeatism
of some agricultural scientists and economists, I remain sanguine about man's
capacity to feed himself in the years to come. The fact that I am optimistic does
not, however, mean I am complacent. The overwhelming impression I brought
away from the Rome seminar in December 1975 was that, despite the multiplicity
of problems of food production and distribution it laid bare, the problems can be
overcome if governments are more fully informed, better motivated and act more
rationally. But act they must and act more purposefully on agricultural matters
than they have done in the past.
