WORLD POPULATION AND WORLD FOOD SUPPLIES

on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

by Sir John Russell , O.B.E., F.R.S.
A short version, specially recorded, of the Presidential Address to the British Association
On one occasion, at least, the world was startled by what was said by the President in the address that traditionally opens the annual meeting of the British Association. That was in 1898, when Sir William Crookes declared that hunger would face the world by 1930. Today food supplies are again the cause of anxiety, and this year's President returns to the theme-food and population. What he has to say is based on a lifetime of experience, much of it as Director of the Rothamsted Experimental Station, the oldest of its kind anywhere.
