Abstract

[fre] La plus grande partie de la population du globe souffre d'une alimentation inadéquate ou insuffisante et nombreux sont ceux qui vivent dans un état de famine permanente. L'accroissement de la production agricole est possible dans la plupart des pays du Tiers-Monde, mais une aide alimentaire accrue des pays riches sera indispensable pendant une période de transition qui risque d'être assez longue. Or la France dispose d'un potentiel agricole sous-utilisé qui peut être adapté aux besoins du Tiers-Monde. On pourrait en effet augmenter d'un million d'hectares environ les surfaces en céréales aux dépens de surfaces en herbe, la diminution de ces dernières étant compensée par l'intensification fourragère. Il ne faut toutefois pas se dissimuler les difficultés de mise en œuvre d'une telle politique. [eng] The major part of the World population suffers from undernourishment or inadequate food diets and many live in a state of permanent starvation. In most developing countries, an increase of farm production is possible but richer countries will still have to maintain a substantial food aid during the transition period which is likely to last for some time. Now, the French farm potential is not fully utilized and could be adapted to the needs of developing countries. The wheat acreages could substitute grassland on some two and a half million acres, the loss of which could be compensated by an intensification of feed crops. However, the difficulties of implementing such a policy must not be overlooked.
