Abstract
In his State of the Union Message, on January 10, 1967, then-President Johnson said, “Next to the pursuit of peace, the really greatest challenge to the human family is the race between food supply and population increase. That race tonight is being lost. The time for rhetoric has clearly passed. The time for concerted action is here and we must get on with the job.” During the 10 years that followed this pronouncement we have seen neither an end to the rhetoric nor a strong move toward concerted action, on a world-wide basis, although there have been positive signs in both directions. Most importantly, perhaps, we have analyzed and defined the job that we must get on with, and the lack of further progress has been a measure of the complexity of this definition. We have deduced, for example, that the world food problem will not yield to a simplistic approach of improved production technology alone.
