Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the current rate of increase, the world's population is likely to reach ten billion by the middle of the twenty-first century. What will be the challenges posed by feeding this population and how can they be addressed? Written to mark the 200th anniversary of the publication of Malthus' seminal Essay on the Principle of Population, this fascinating book looks at the intimate links between population growth and agricultural innovation over the past 10,000 years, illustrating how the evolution of agriculture has both shaped and been shaped by the course of world population growth. This historical context serves to illuminate our present position and to aid understanding of possible future paths to food security for the planet. This volume is a unique and accessible account that will be of interest to a wide audience concerned with global population, food supply, agricultural development, environmental degradation and resource depletion.

This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main contribution of this book lies in its focus on real alternatives in future population growth. At some time-taken as 1956 in India for this case study-a low-income country may have the option of effectively promoting the reduction of fertility, or (by inaction) of permitting fertility to remain at high levels. This book clearly shows the nature and extent of the economic gains resulting from fertility reduction. Since most low-income areas are destined for rapid population growth even with substantial fertility declines, the emphasis is placed between moderately rapid and very rapid growth. The extensive quantitative population projections show the importance of the growth rate itself and of changes in age distribution in addition to population size. The results for India have direct implications for all low-income, primarily agrarian areas entering a program of economic development. Originally published in 1958.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man, Land and Food: Looking Ahead at World Food Needs The world food problem is closely associated with a rapidly developing population crisis. The food problem is two dimensional. It is partly a production problem, partly a distribution problem. Food supplies in the developed regions are abundant and steadily rising on a per capita basis. In the less developed regions, supplies are inadequate and although grain output per capita is now rising it is still below prewar. The distribution aspects of the food problem give little evidence of immediate improvement. Population in the less developed regions, now totaling billion, is expected to reach nearly 5 billion by the end of the century. If the expected addition of about 3 billion materializes, the less developed regions will need to develop an additional food production capacity equal to current world capacity. Land, the most important ingredient in the agricultural produc tion mix, is in limited supply. Of the earth's land surface of 33 billion acres, less than 3 billion acres actually produces crops in any given year. Ninety-three percent of this area produces edible crops; 71 percent of the total is used to produce grain. Much of the 7 percent in nonfood crops is planted to fibers, mostly cotton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of the Rural School To what is this freshly awakened interest due? For an answer one must look to the facts Of our agricultural development during the first decade Of the twentieth century. In the Quarterly journal of Economics for November, 1912, Mr. J. L. Coulter, of the United States Bureau of the Census, epitomizes the findings of the Division of Agriculture of the Census of 1910. The census shows that during the ten years from 1899 to 1909 agricultural production in the United States increased only IO per cent. As compared with the preceding decade, while the popula tion - the number of mouths to be fed - increased 21 per cent! And this failure Of the food-supply to keep pace with the population was most serious in those staples upon which the elemental life Of the nation most directly depends. To meet an increase of 21 per cent. In the population the aggregate production of wheat increased only per cent., of orchard fruits only per cent., while the production of corn actually decreased per cent. The facts here brought to light make it plain that it is the menace of hunger that is turning the nation to the rural school as the only instrument capable of avert ing wide-spread disaster. We have now reached a stage in the history of this country, says Mr. Coulter, when farmers in average years do not produce much more of the raw materials used for food, forage, and clothing than is needed within the country. In poor years the production may not in future equal the demands of the consumers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparison with stationary and very fast rates of population growth shows modern population grwoth to have long-run positive effects on the standards of living. This is Julian Simon's contention, and he provides support for its validity in both more and less-developed countries. He notes that since each person constitutes a burden in the short run, whether population growth is judged good or bad depends on the importance the short run is accorded relative to the long run. The author first analyzes empirical data, formulating his conclusions using simulation models. He then reviews our knowledge of the effect of economic level upon population growth. A final section of his book considers the framework of welfare economics and values within which population policy decisions are now made. He finds that the implications of policy decisions can prove inconsistent with the values that prompt their recommendation. Originally published in 1977.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Revival of Population Growth in Nonmetropolitan America The vast rural-to-urban migration of people that was the common pattern of us. Population movement in the decades after World War II has been halted and, on balance, even reversed. During 1970-73, nonmetropolitan areas gained percent in population compared to only percent for metro areas. In the eyes of many Americans, the appeal of major urban areas has diminished and the attractiveness of rural and small town communities has increased, economi cally and otherwise. The result is a new trend that is already having an impact, one that modifies much we have taken for granted about population distribution.

Download or read book The Agricultural Dilemma written by Glenn Davis Stone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Agricultural Dilemma questions everything we think we know about the current state of agriculture and how to, or perhaps more importantly how not to, feed a world with a growing population. This book is about the three fundamental forms of agriculture: Malthusian (expansion), industrialization (external-input-dependent), and intensification (labor-based). The best way to understand the three agricultures, and how we tend to get it wrong, is to consider what drives their growth. The book provides a thoughtful, critical analysis that upends entrenched misconceptions such as that we are running out of land for food production and that our only hope is the development of new agricultural technologies. The book contains engaging and enlightening vignettes and short histories, with case studies drawn from across the globe to bring to life this important debate and dilemma. The book concludes by arguing there is a viable alternative to industrial agriculture which will allow us to meet the world's needs and it ponders why such alternatives have been downplayed, obscured, or hidden from view. This important book is essential reading for all studying and researching food production and agriculture, and more broadly for all interested in ensuring we are able to feed our growing population.
