Abstract

Excerpts from the Introduction: Because of the close relationship between the agriculture of Europe and that of the United States, a better understanding of the salient factors of European agriculture is necessary in order to establish a satisfactory agricultural program in the United States. This Geography is intended to meet this need. A knowledge of the actual, relative, and potential character of the productivity factors of agriculture in Europe and the Near East is essential to a better understanding of the effect of these factors of production on the agricultural import requirements of the people, and the ability of these areas to compete with the United States agricultural production. The best crop and livestock statistics available, as well as climatic data, have been compiled and presented graphically in such a manner that one may quickly visualize the effect of the combined physical forces on agricultural production and food supply for the people of the various countries discussed. This study shows the geographic origin of the food supply and other important agricultural products and indicates briefly the climatic, vegetation, and soil conditions that, to a considerable degree, account for the distribution of the crops and live-stock in the European area.
