Global Food
Shortage Key
Is Research
The anticipated world food
shortage can be avoided, ac
cording to the dean of the Col
lege of Agricultural Sciences
at the University of Delaware.
Dr. William E. McDaniel told
a field day audience recently
that the consuming public’s in
terest in low food prices will
bo the key to a solution. "They
will invest in agricultural re
search and extension to hold
down the price of food.” The
result will be improved tedv
nology, higher productivity and
greater world food output, he
adds.
He pointed out that non-farm
people reap the greatest re
turn from investments in agri
cultural research and extension.
They have benefited even more
than the farmers themselves,
he said, because as fanners
adopt tlie findings of research,
more food is produced and rel
atively lower prices result. Con
sumers thus receive dividend#
on their initial
the agricultural expert stated.
In explaining the role of the
University’s substation to ap
proximately 1000 farmers, agri
businessmen, civic leaders and
homemakers, McDaniel said
that the more than 80 research
projects being undertaken are
designed to improve the ef
ficiency of food production,
through increased yields per
acre and per animal unit. As
soon as an improved variety or
technique is developed, it is
passed along to those who can
put it to work.
McDaniel said there has been
a general concern for the fu
ture of agricultural research
because of reapportioned state
legislatures and decreasing rep
resentation from rural areas
in Congress. “This has affected
and will continue to affect ap
propriations for agricultural
research. The effect, however,
has been and 1 will continue to
be favorable." He said non
farm interest in low-priced
food makes this so.
