AMES, lowa Dr. Glenn
W. Burton, research
geneticist with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA), recently told the
World Food Conference here
the world can feed itself for
the remainder of the century
only if it changes its ways.
“I believe the world can
feed itself for the remainder
of this century if it will
remove the constraints it
knows how or can learn how
to remove,” he said. “It
cannot feed itself unless it
changes its ways.”
The constraints Dr. Burton
spoke about included not just
technical problems in the
business of growing crops,
but also the constraints
imposed by man in
producing material aids to
agriculture and in the
methods practiced in
growing the crops.
A geneticist with USDA’s
Agricultural Research
Service (ARS), Dr. Burton
said cereal grasses rice,
wheat, maize, barley, rye,
oats, sorghum and millet
probably always will be
man’s most important food
source. Together these
plants supply three-fourths
of our energy and more than
half our protein.
“The cereal grasses are
adapted to a great diversity
of soil and water con
ditions,” he said. “They

habits
range from rice, growing on
rich, fertile soil flooded with
water, to pearl millet,
producing grain on six in
ches of infertile soil with only
four inches of rainfall.”
Dr. Burton also pointed out
that although cereal grasses
feed such a large proportion
of the world’s people, cereals
need improvements to raise
their nutritional levels. If
that occurred, even those
people unable to afford little
more than the basic cereal
diet could still enjoy the good
health associated with
adequate nutrition.
He went on to cite a
number of examples where,
through careful breeding
programs, continuing
genetic improvements have
resulted in plants with
greater nutritional value as
well as built-in resistance to
insect pests and diseases.
He said the strategy for
increasing production is
simple. “It depends on
people dedicated people
who care,” he said. There
must be a leader, a team of
capable research workers,
specialists who make the
business of improving
agriculture their life’s work.
And there must be continued
interchange between the
farmer who applies the new
technology to grow more
food and the scientist who
creates it.
