Book excerpt: Abstract: This symposium was held under sponsorship of the Committee on Animal Nutrition, Board on Agriculture and Renewable Resources, of the Commission on Natural Resources, National Research Council, on November 29-30, 1977, in the Auditorium of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C. Experts from a diversity of related scientific fields were invited to present papers addressing the theme of the symposium. The purpose of this symposium is to explore, in depth, the food-production resources that are available in the United States, to take into account our energy shortfall and increasing demand for food, and to present factual information on the specific roles of plant and animal products in supplying this demand for food. The papers discuss the present and future demand for plant and animal products, consumer acceptance and trends, the nutritional requirements of the human population, and how the associative nature of these products is meeting these demands.
