Overview

Excerpt from Food Supplies in Peace and War The invention of mechanical motive power, and the consequent development of regular and rapid means of transport throughout the world, have de-localised food supplies. No longer is any nation doomed to starvation because its harvests fail or pestilence destroys its flocks and herds. All the ends of the earth can contribute to feed those who are in need. The distribution of food is determined not by physical but by economic forces, and so long as the machinery of transportation by land and sea is unhampered, the risk of famine is shared by the whole community of nations.
