World food NEW ORLEANS, La.-To meet (Ahe food requirements of future populations, agricultural production must be increased 50 percent by the year 2000 and be doubled again in the next century, according to Rudy Dudal, director of the Land and Water Develop ment Division for tbe United Nation’s Food and Agricultural Organization in Rome, Italy. Dudal said it is estimated that the world’s population could stabilize at 10.5 billion people in the year 2110. He explained that the world, as a whole, has enough land to produce food for present and future populations. .However, he noted that uneven distribution of the population, differences in land resource endowment and limitations in the availability of inputs will make it difficult for some countries to meet food requirements through domestic production. f “Certain countries with ' un favorable soil and climatic con ditions may not have the means to meet the food requirements of their populations,” Dudal said. “Within each country a balance will need to be established, mat ching needs with the suitability of the land for various types of use.” The solution to the world food problem, Dudal added, is self reliance of every nation in ac cordance with its production potential. However, he pointed out that with the occurrence of critical areas in various parts of the world, Tuesday, October 26 Wednesday, October 27 AT GREYSTONE MANOR FARM On Rt 272 - Oregon Pike Approx. 5 miles North of Lancaster SPONSORED BY: ADAMSTOWN EQUIPMENT, INC.

The charter was adopted at a 1981 conference of the Food and Agricultural Organization and calls for a commitment on the part of governments, international organizations, and land users in general to manage the land for long-term advantage rather than for short-term expediency. "Soil conservation is a more legitimate political issue today than at any time since the 19305,” said Neil Sampson, executive vice president of the National Association of Conservation Districts, Washington, D.C., while noting the public has given many indications- that it is ready to support soil and water con servation efforts, as well as protection of America’s prime farmlands. But the results of that support, when viewed in the context of actual public policy decisions that affect publicly funded soil and water conservation efforts, he said, tells a far different story.

Giltmier stressed politics is an essential process whereby people come together to resolve their differences.
