Dodge, Woodville, New York Steve Hofman, Modesto, California Leslie Winters, Bingham Lake, Minnesota Call For Major Policy Changes, Increased International Cooperation, DES MOINES, la.—Delegates attending the 1988 World Food Conference, June 5-9 here, are expected to urge adoption of changes in international trade and monetary exchange policies to help ease the growing problem of world-wide hunger. “It is one of the paradoxes of our time,” said lowa Governor Terry E. Branstad. The Governor’s office is heading organization efforts for the conference. “Mil lions arc dying of hunger, yet, in this country and many others, we must deal with the problems of excess supplies.” Despite significant gams in world-wide food production since the 1974 World Food Conference, Branstad said statistics show that the number of hungry people in the world has increased. He added that the rate of increase has accelerated in the 1980 s. Evidence to be presented at the conference indicates little hope for solving hunger without a coopera tive international effort involving long-term food supply and techno logical assistance. The most severe hunger problems are now being experienced in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Yet, in these areas, destruction of cropland due to desertification, salinization and erosion is most severe. These areas also are expected to account for 90 percent of the increase in world population until the year 2025. Due to factors including large debt loads and international trade issues, many developing countries find that their ability to import food has been reduced substantial ly. Taken together, these factors have driven food consumption levels down in numerous develop ing countries^. Many governments are now re ordering their priorities to improve the social and economic efficiency of their economies, Branstad National Dairy Board Elects Officers, William T.
