one-third more food
UNIVERSITY PARK -
Research scientists must
find ways, by the year 2000,
to produce one-third more
food than available now to
feed 100 million more people
in the United States alone,
according to Dr. James M.
Beattie, Dean of the College
of Agriculture at the Penn
sylvania State University.
Dr. Beattie claimed that
worldwide demands for
agricultural production will
nearly double because the
world population is in
creasing by 80 million a
year.
Dr. Beattie made his
comments in the opening
article of a special Bicen
tennial issue of “Science in
Agriculture,” the quarterly
magazine of the Agricultural
Experiment Station at Penn
State.
For more than 40 years, he
pointed out, the very large
North American food
reserves have been a hedge
against substantial star-

the Northern Lebanon High
School cafeteria.
Lancaster Farming, Saturday. Nov. 20.1976
U.S. will need
vation anywhere in the
world. Now, in the last few
years, these food reserves
have disappeared. The
problem for today, and for
the balance of this century,
is basically how to feed the
world’s hungry people until
world and national leaders
can find a way to stabilize
human population, he stated.
The Penn State Dean of
Agriculture said the ability
to increase farm production
in America on drastically
reduced acreage can be
credited largely to
achievements from
research. Much of this new
knowledge, he indicated, has
flowed from the agricultural
experiment station system
at the state universities, the
largest agricultural
research organization in the
world with more than 10,000
scientists.
“The Agricultural Ex
periment Station at Penn
State is part of this system
which has operated so
successfully to bring
practical knowledge to
farmers and others in search
of a better life,” Dr. Beattie
observed. “A fundamental
quality of land grant
university research is its
ability to respond to the
needs of people with prac
tical solutions to daily
problems,” he added.
The special Bicentennial
issue of “Science in
Agriculture” summarizes
several major ac
complishments within the
Pennsylvania Agricultural
Experiment Station. Free
copies are available from the
Agricultural Mailing Room,
112 Agricultural Ad
ministration Building,
University Park, PA 16802.
Some county offices of the
Cooperative Extension
Service may also have
copies.
