Nov 25, Dec 2 9 16?CCB FOOD PATTERNS FOR THE FUTURE ?Continued from last week Food Needs Cin Be Met There is the possibility that tem porary food shortages may develop in the future because of droughts ! or lack of imports or because we are called upon to supply food for foreign populations. In such a situation, it would be possible to support more people with ade quate diets by moderate changes in the national pattern of food production and consumption. This shitt would be in the oppos te di rection from that just discussed. The production-consumption pat tern would need to include more of the crop products that give relatively large output of food nu trients per unit of resources. Could Support .More People The average reqirred to produce ? the products consumed per person | has declined in the last 30 yei rs I because of increases in crop and j livestock-produgt yields. In recent i years, about 2,7 acres of cropland < have been used to produce the average diet. Th s includes 0.8 of an acre as an allowance for the feed obtained from pasture. On this basis, about 430 million acres of croplarid- equivalent have been used for food production in recent y^ars. With 1941-45 average yields, this acreage would supply about 160 million people with a diet such as we had during the war. Of course, we imported some products during the war but exports were much larger and our population was ! only 140 million. ' . / About 40 percent of the food energy in our wartime diets was from livestock products. However, over 200 million people could have been supported from .the same land resources, if we had consumed a diet similar to that described as adequate low-cost in the recent food plans of the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics. In this diet, only 30 percent of the j energy is from livestock products:. On the other hand, only 135 mir-j lion could have been supplied with j a diet plan described as liberal in I which 44 percent of the energy j is from livestock products. Of coursc, very marked shifts in consumption to crop foods in place of livestock would involve changes in food habits that most people would not like to make. They would not be necessary so long as j productivity of land resources con- j tinue to increase as rapidly as pop- ! ulation. i Food producers have a very large stake in what happens to demand for food products. A decline in foreign demand for food products to prewar levels would mean some reduction in total demand. But if industrial employment and in comes remain at about 1947 levels, the lfifrger food supply probably can be marketed at prices not much lower than they were in that year. On the other hand, if employment and incomes generally decline and demand returns to the levels of just befofe the war, a food supply j per person at current tates could ! not be sold except at much lower RED-DRILLED POLICEME CH in 1 CONFIRMING IM1 WESTERN POWERS' charge that large number! of policemen are being given "military drill ing" in the Red zone of Berlin is this photo taken by a hidden American cameraman The police are shown ending their drill with a march to the auditorium (background) where they were lectured on the "blessing* of the Russian occupation." Soviet authorities have continuously denied there was any drilling. (tnterna&Um*I> prices. Techniological advance has raised output per acre and per worker and will help food producers main tain good incomes even if the prices they receive are lower. Con tinued improvement in farming m thods make possible lower costs per unit especially if costs of items in production also decline. In this connection, the gradual reduction in number of workers employed in agriculture which was speeded up during the war is significant. It means that net farm income must be divided among fewer people. More Efficiency Needed More ?fficicent methods of pro ducing and distributing food shoulc be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. They will help make profitable a larger volume of pro duction and will offset the effects j of lower prices. And they will ? make possible a larger volume o.'i consumption even though expen-j ditures for food by consumers should remain unchanged. * I A shift to more livestock products! could. help solve the problem of maintaining the natural fertility of soils. II most of the expansion is in roughage-consuming livestock, it would be possible to increase the acreage in grass and legume crops. The acreage of intertilled crops which cause more erosion could be reduced.
