An Analysis of Certain Estimates of Food Requirements and Demand

Marguerite C. Burk

Journal of Agricultural Economics Research, 1951, vol. 03, issue 01, 9

Abstract: Current pressure of demand on our food supplies, resulting from the accelerated defense program, has renewed the general interest in the food needs of our civilian population. Concepts of food needs vary from minimum quantities of food required to maintain health and activity to full consumer demand. Several significant studies of food requirements and demand based on specified assumptions, made in the last 10 years, are summarized and compared in this article.
