Meeting World Food Needs: Food Policy and Population Growth Among the Poorest of the Poor

Wayne A. Schutjer and C. Shannon Stokes

Journal of the Northeastern Agricultural Economics Council, 1982, vol. 11, issue 2, 6

Abstract: The current and future world food problem is centered in low income nations and among low income segments of populations world wide. The thesis of this paper is that increases in income and food production in the poorer nations and among low income segments of rural populations elsewhere are likely to aggravate that problem in the first instance. It is after some minimum level of economic well being has been attained that further increases in income will result in reduced family size.
