C7 Jj Waste and Pests Decimate
The World's Food Supply
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NBA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
America’s detractors, busy on our own campuses and
newly active abroad trying to disrupt Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller’s forays into Latin America, like to suggest that we
are somehow wickedly responsible for—among other things
—most of the world’s hunger and poverty.
We are pictirred as impeding “land reform,” that con
cept embraced by liberals and radicals as a magic means
of alleviating the distress of impoverished peasants in the
underdeveloped lands.
At the outset, it seems useful to examine a monumental,
yet largely unappreciated, factor in the world's hunger and
poverty—the enormous waste and misuse of food resources.
Just a few years ago, Sir Robert Robinson, a British
Nobel Prize winner, estimated that from 15 to 35 per cent
of all the world’s agricultural production, representing up
to S4B billion a year, is lost to pests, disease and weeds.
The losses are greatly magnified by the incredibly wide
spread mishandling of harvested crops.
In Latin America, where violence-bent students have
been shouting of America’s “villainy,” the U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization reports that annual crop losses
come to about 40 per cent of everything that is produced.
While the students are practicing their anti-American
chants, their own countrymen on farms and in warehouses
are wasting two-fifths of all the food and fiber they have
struggled to produce.
With great new technological and other breakthroughs
occurring in food production in many places, Lester Brown,
a U.S. Department of Agriculture international specialist,
has guessed that most of the poor nations of the free world
might enjoy an adequate diet by 1975. The one area he
exempts is South America’s backward West Coast.
It should not be thought, however, that only Latin Amer
ica suffers today from colossal wastage and harmful or
backward production pjactices.
In India alone, it is estimated that spoilage costs the
country annual losses of three million tons of rice. Nigeria
and rebellious Biafra lose millions of dollars’ worth of
crops to rapacious little birds which sweep across Africa.
Even the more-advanced fanning nations are victimized
by pests and diseases. In Mexico, where important land
reforms were long ago accomplished, 100,000 cattle in
affected areas die every year from hoof-and-mouth disease.
A U.S. survey six years ago found that the ravages of
insects and other pests nullified the work of a million men,
then roughly 10 per cent of the country’s farm labor force.
The U.N.’s FAO says flatly that the wastage of human
effort—and farm product—is vastly greater in Latin Amer
ica, Africa and Asia.
The enemies are not the U.S. government and our huge
corporations. They are natural enemies — rats, locusts,
other insects, swarming birds, dampness, animal and plant
diseases. And too often the farmer in the poor nations of
the world is his own adversary—ignorant, careless s self
destructive in his land practices, mired in ineffeciency.
