Abstract

This brief review suggests that market needs—rather than production possibilities—will be the major determinant of the level of farm output in the United States over the next 25 to 50 years. That is, how many people will there be to feed and how well will they want to be fed. Graphs/Tables included: Farm Output and Population (Percentage of 1910-1958) --- Changes in Food Consumption (1935-1955) --- Factors in Farm Production per Unit of Farm Output --- Weekly Consumption of Selected Foods, per Person, Spring 1955 --- Money Value of Food, Farm Families (1923, 1935, 1941, 1951) --- Canned and Frozen Food by Farm Families, 1941 and 1954.
