Excerpts: Food aid and programs for special population groups are valuable. At best they are temporary measures, however. The ultimate solution to the problem of achieving improved diets lies in making good use of food resources, raising the agriculture of the less developed countries to a more productive level, and applying modern science and technology to effective conservation and use of food. Technical assistance on a broad front in Agriculture, nutrition, and home economics conducted both by international agencies and on a country-to-country basis is leading the world many steps along this road. Continuing programs, both short- and long-term, for reducing the disparities in food supplies and nutritional state between the more- and the less-developed regions of the world are the objective of FA0’s 1960-1965 Freedom-from-Hunger Campaign and other efforts to promote economic development. To this, we in USA are lending our wholehearted support. Through the sharing of our material abundance and even more through the sharing of our knowledge and experience in nutritional, food and agricultural sciences and technologies, we can help others help themselves to achieve both physical well-being and self-respect.
