This book is a collection of lectures on population andagricultural prospects delivered in Cambridge University, England,during 1966 and 1967 by a group of scholars with diverse backgrounds.Some of them are demographers and economists, some others arenutritionists and physiologists. Probably because of the specific natureof the population problem and food supply or perhaps because theselectures were not originally prepared with the intention of publishingthem together in a book form, there appears to be a lot of repetition ofideas by the individual lecturers. The book is, however, interesting asit covers all the important aspects of the population problem and theproblem of keeping up food supply.
