Earth Can Feed Us

First published in 1966, the task confronting our generation - to produce food in sufficient quantity and of adequate quality for the world's increasing population - appeared difficult to solve. Hugo Osvald, a Scandinavian nutrition expert, reveals that enough food can be produced for a world population several times larger than at present.
