Abstract

Modernising food production and distribution in newly developing countries is a complex challenge to international business and to development agency managers. It has been the experience of planners and engineering firms such as Parsons Brinckerhoff, that a systems approach can be applied to managing agro-industrial development in much the same way that it has been applied to complex problems such as rapid transit or the space shuttle. A development perspective which deals with a food commodity through all its stages, from farming to consumption, and which takes into account the social, economic and technological aspects of its production and distribution, may prove an important step forward in expanding the world's food supply and in distributing it more evenly.
