1945

Seen in retrospect, the changes in the food and agricultural situation over the past decade have been remarkable. World agricultural production was raised by nearly 30 percent. In most Countries the acute postwar food shortages were overcome in the course of a few years. Serious famines were averted, and in many countries food consumption raised to a higher level than ever before. The findings of nutritional science have been widely adopted in welfare schemes, e.g. of child feeding, and also to an increasing extent in planning the broad lines of agricultural development. In the more advanced countries there has been almost a revolution in agricultural methods as a result of mechanization and the widespread adoption of improved techniques. In the less developed parts of the world impressive steps have been taken towards the better use of land and water resources. The productivity of land and farm labor has increased at an unprecedented rate.
