Foreword

This year's annual report on the world food and agricultural situation follows the pattern, established last year and favorably received. After a short introductory summary, there is a main, chapter on the current world situation, followed by two chapters dealing with particular topics in greater detail, and over a longer term than a year. One of these chapters reviews the factors influencing the consumption of food. The other deals with institutional changes since the war in land tenure, farm credit and agricultural co-operatives, and their impact on agricultural development.
