FOOD GLUT - or Famine? - William F Dankenbring & Gary L Alexander - November 1969

William F Dankenbring & Gary L Alexander

News of a supposed "Worldwide Food Glut" has made headlines. Some think the danger of a population explosion is past! Others say the population bomb is still relentlessly ticking away. Is the world on the way to self-sufficiency? The answer is in this article. "There is no starvation in India at all," announced the Indian Ambassador to the United States. Nawab Ali Yavar Jung. "There is no such thing as starvation in India," he continued. "Scarcity is an old-Fashioned word because of our agricultural progress." Ambassador Jung said his country expects to be self-sufficient in food production within a maximum of three years and to be exporting grain within five years. Journalists who follow Ambassador Jung's thinking speak of a "global food glut" and "soaring surpluses." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
