	Human Appropriation of the World's Food Supply
		Thomas R. Malthus predicted that population growth would outstrip food supply, causing great human suffering.
		The overall consequence is that per capita food production has contradicted the doom-sayers of the 1960s: during the greatest episode of population growth in human history, food supply per capita grew.
		Crops and foods can produced using recombinant DNA techniques which enhance their agronomic potential, nutritional characteristics, or one or more features of pest protection (insect and viruses) and tolerance to herbicides.

	World Food Supply
		Projections of food consumption will continue to rise in developing countries over the next 30 years, moving from an average of 2626 kcal in the 1990s to nearly 3000 kcal in 2015.
		Leading causes of continued problems in food availability cited in the study are failures by countries to achieve rapid economic development and to reduce poverty.
		Limitations for increasing food consumption within the affected countries will be the continued inequalities in access to food due to poverty and poor food distribution systems.

	AVMA Press Release - Projected Serious Food Supply Veterinarian Shortage Poses Threat to Industry, Society
		While projected demand for food supply veterinarians will increase a modest 12 percent to 13 percent between now and 2016, the research forecasts a shortfall of 4 percent to 5 percent per year.
		This means for every 100 food supply veterinary jobs available, there will be only 96 veterinarians available to fill them due to decreasing numbers of veterinary students choosing to practice in the fields in food supply specialties and socio-economic trends, including further declines in rural populations.
		Veterinary students who switched to a career focus in food supply overwhelmingly said it was because they were exposed to information about the specialty in veterinary school.

	Fertilizers are essential for food supply - Yara
		However, since most food plants are consumed by communities outside the farm system, in effect, the nutrients are brought away from the farm.
		The nutrients removed by the food plants leaving the farms are replaced by mineral fertilizers.
		Field trials conducted at Rothamstead in the UK since the 1840s show that unfertilized land may yield only 2 tonnes of wheat per hectar while correctly fertilized soils can give us harvests of up to 8 tonnes per hectar - year after year, provided that a balanced fertilization scheme is maintained.

	Sokwanele - Food Supply
		Despite imports and donor aid supplying 5 million people with their basic needs for much of the 2003/04 season, Zimbabwe turned the corner into the 2004/05 grain marketing year with barely 300 000 tonnes in stock.
		Even so, our food stocks have declined and at present it would appear that the GMB is only importing 8000 tonnes a week against estimated demand of 23 000 tonnes a week for human needs only.
		Rigorous monitoring of the food security situation in highly food insecure areas such as the districts of Masvingo, the Matebelelands, the south of Manicaland and Zambezi Valley, should be stepped up given the threat of famine in these areas.

	Special Report: DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA< - 29 July 2002
		Given the country's low capacity to import food commercially, food aid shipments must be increased to prevent the poorest sections of the population from facing extreme hardship in the coming months.
		Even with the more favourable food situation this year, a combination of poor living conditions, inadequate health care, poor maternal health and insufficient access to food continue to place a large number of children at risk, particularly those from families with low incomes and few alternative sources of food.
		Nonetheless, an insufficient food pipeline prevented WFP in May from commencing essential lean season distributions to the elderly and caregivers in institutions, and curtailed distributions to secondary school children.

	Biotechnology and the World Food Supply
		The global food supply would need to double just to stay even, but to triple for the larger population to be fed adequately.
		Among the most important are lack of income to buy food, lack of infrastructure like roads to get products to market, trade policies that disadvantage farmers in the developing world, lack of inputs such as fertilizer, lack of information, and low-yield farming practices.
		Finally, meeting the world food crisis will require changes outside of agriculture like improving the incomes of the poor through microenterprises and shifting the diet of the rich away from excessive dependence on grain-fed livestock.

		Integrated supply thus gave way to alternatives or competition; and yet monopoly was the great fear especially in the 18th Century.
		For the failures in direct supply and in controlled markets documented in Paris during the decades up to the French Revolution, parallells can be found elsewhere, but with different outcome.
