to meet in Washington
WASHINGTON
Organized farmers from
some fifty nations will
coverge here later this
month for a ten-day meeting
dealing with world food
policy, the agricultural
aspects of the multilateral
trade negotiations, national
and international food
reserves, farm commodity
situations and problems, and
the role of agriculture in
sustaining a livable en
vironment.
These are among many
issues to be considered when
the International Federation
of Agricultural Producers
(IFAP) holds its 21st
General Conference October
27 through November 6 at the
Statler Hilton hotel.
This is the first time that
the global farm association
has held a General Con
ference in Washington, D.C.
and only the second time it
has met in the U.S. in its 30-
year history.

famine, hunger, world trade
and agricultural progress in
the developing countries,”
Charles G. Munro, a dairy
farmer from London, On
tario, who heads IFAP,
believes. “Farmers are, in
fact, far ahead of their
governments in reaching a
consensus on a sensible
course in food policy."
Munro’s own report on the
"state of world agriculture”
will come at plenary session
on October 29, at which Dr.
Addeke H. Boerma,
Director-General of the
United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization
(FAO), U.S. Senator Hubert
H. Humphrey, IFAP
Secretary-General M.P.
Cracknell, spokesmen for
the U N World Bank, the
U.S. State Department, and
participating U.N.
specialized agencies will
speak.
The principal business of
the IFAP conference will
take place in its plenary and
AGWAY
policy committee sessions at
which the recommendations
of the organization for the
coming year will be
developed.
However, significant
discussions will also take
place in commodity group
discussions, in standing
committees on agricultural
cooperation and on
agriculture in the developing
countries, and in special
policy sessions on the en
vironment, farm contracts
and bargaining and
agricultural finance.
A special session on In
ternational Women’s Year
(IWY) on November 6 will
feature Margaret Bruce,
Deputy Secretary-General of
the U.N.’s IWY conference,
and Dr. Isable Chaly
Caserta, Executive
