Essay on World Food Crisis!
Socrates said that the best sauce for food is hunger. Today, as in the age of Socrates, there is no lack of hunger sauce. There is widespread concern about the relationship between population and food supply throughout the world. Numerous actions have been proposed. Jean Mayer, the famed nutritionist, holds that a 10 per cent decrease in meat consumption by Americans would release enough grain to feed 60 million people.
The concern about the relationship between population and the food supply is not new. Sir Thomas Malthus predicted in 1798 that population would continually increase faster than the food supply, causing chronic food shortages. Today, in much of Asia, Africa and Latin America the food problem looms large. The prospect of world famine is held before us with hundreds of millions of people starving.
The world food crisis is caused primarily because of unequal distribution. Enough food is available to provide at least 4.3 pounds of food per person per day worldwide. The problem, therefore, is not of production but clearly of access and distribution.
The average calories available (2807 per person per day) exceed average requirements (2511 per person per day) worldwide. The other reasons of food shortage cited are population explosion and numerous other reasons like war, droughts, floods, earthquakes, and the like.
India has a serious hunger problem which gets worse each day. Only a few years ago, the food situation appeared fairly bright. There was an agricultural boom, with food production doubling from 1950 to 1970. Yields increased, stocks of food were built up, and India produced more food than it consumed as weather and technology contributed to bumper yields in a Green Revolution. Today, however, the hunger problem in India commands the world’s attention.
