Improved Birth Control OR Starvation From Dwindling Food Stocks: The Coming Era
0diggsdigg
By Dr. Reimert T. Ravenholt
World signs grow alarmingly clear of a coming era of increasing starvation in those lands that have not yet curbed their fertility and are greatly dependent upon food grants to feed their outsize families.
Even if determined to try to meet rapidly increasing demands for concessional foods, the U.N. World Food Programme and grantor nations will soon be unable to do so because of the growing scarcities of requisite foods and rapidly escalating prices. It has been but a stop-gap program, which has unfortunately delayed the realization of many poor countries that they must actually from their own resources feed their populations. Many African countries are now worse off with respect to food and self-sufficiency than they would have been had there never been a World Food Programme. Unrealistically, they have failed to curb their excess fertility while leaning on the food-grants-crutch of the WFP.
But, finally, there is no escape from the fundamental Human Condition Equation:
RESOURCES divided by POPULATION equals THE HUMAN CONDITION.
The amount of food
