THE YANCEY RECORD
Qa RD EN TIME
What does the population
explosion mean to us and our
food supply? To our children?
Our grandchildren and others
to follow? Are we planning
well on the local, regional, na
tional and international levels
to adequately meet the needs
of future generations.
Or, are we becoming too
complacent in this age of af
fluence and power Two cars
in every garage? A yacht in
the marina basin? Pefhaps an
airplane to save time in the
rush of things? Working moth
ers? Babies in the nursery;
then kindergarten; then school;
then summer camp? Family
ties??
I have written, many times,
concerning the importance of
long-range planning to meet
the needs of our expanding po
pulation by conservation of
our natural resources, rural
and urban development and
the essentiality of protecting
our food supply.

Anthony E. Cascino. vice pre
sident of Agricultural Products
Marketing Group, Internation
al Minerals and Chemical Cor
poration. I am passing along
to you some of his facts and
figures because I feel they will
be of interest.
“We are talking about peo
ple, masses of people and ’
about food.” The world popula
tion today is in excess of three
billion people and is increasing.
Since the beginning of time, |
the first billion population
mark was not reached until
1850. But it took only 80 years
(1980) for the world population
to reach the two billion mark.
The three billion mark was
reached in 1900 and now we are
In Hie midst of building up to
the fourth billion, expected to ,
be reached by 1975.
“Can you comprehend this?” i
In the short span of 15 years i
the population will expand by
numbers that previously took
ages. The end is not in sight,
as Mr. Cascino predicts the
fifth billion in 12 years and \
the sixth in less.than 10 .fears.
Today, with the woHd p pu
fa tion slightly over the th'ee
billion marie we find over half
of the people in the world suf
fer from hunger or malnutri
tion. We will need to produce
food for a population one-third
larger in the next 15 years.
We must double food produc
tion by the end of this century.
“The fusion of people and
food is the most powerful force
in the world today and we had
better believe this as a people
and as a nation.”
