| Abstract | The causes of malnutrition are discussed--lack of money for food; and insufficiency of food production. It is stressed that much agricultural land is employed for purposes other than the production of food. Other causes of malnutrition include changes in local food habits and in food technology. Remedies discussed include increasing yields by organic manuring and mixed cropping; devoting more land to staple food production; changes in food habits and in food technology. Until these problems are addressed in Western societies there is little prospect of suitable solutions amongst the peoples of the Third World. |
