Abstract: Excerpt from the Presentation: It is our purpose in this paper first, to refine the concept of the world food deficit by distinguishing between nutritional deficits and economic deficits. Second, we will classify the developing countries into two groups based on current growth rates, and then estimate future food needs for each grouping separately. Third, we will project food availabilities in each group of countries from domestic production and commercial imports and relate those food availabilities to requirements. Finally, we will attempt to develop a strategy for meeting the remaining deficits through food aid.
