Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture and Food Supply in France During the War IN the autumn of 1914, when the scientific study of the effects of war upon modern life passed suddenly from theory to history, the Division Of Economics and History of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace proposed to adjust the program of its re searches to the new and altered problems which the war presented. The existing program, which had been prepared as the result of a conference of economists held at Berne in 1911, and which dealt with the facts then at hand, had just begun to show the quality of its contributions; but for many reasons it could no longer be fol lowed out. A plan was therefore drawn up at the request of the Director of the Division, in which it was proposed, by means Of an historical survey, to attempt to measure the economic cost of the war and the displacement which it was causing in the processes of civilization. Such an 'economic and Social History Of the World War, ' it was felt, if undertaken by men of judicial temper and ade quate training, might ultimately, by reason of its scientific Obliga tions to truth, furnish data for the forming Of sound public opinion, and thus contribute fundamentally toward the aims of an institu tion dedicated to the cause Of international peace.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Production in France in Time of War, Supplementary Report to the Trustees of the Albert Kahn Travelling Fellowship, 1917 I take it that all readers of this report will have a general knowledge of the principles on which French administration is organised. The Central Government consists of about a dozen departments, the political heads of which form the Cabinet or Council of Ministers. The country is divided up into 87 departments and at the head of the administration in each stands a Prefet, te presenting departmentally (in the English sense) the Ministry of the Interior, and generally the whole National Government in so far as its activities or those of any of its departments concern the territory within his jurisdiction.

Download or read book Food Economy in War Time Classic Reprint written by T. B. Wood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Economy in War Time It is well understood by the public that at the present time a rigorous economy in food is not only desirable on general grounds, but absolutely necessary to the success of this country in the task before it. While all may have the wish to economise, many will feel the need of some guidance with regard to the lines upon which economy may be practised without injury to health. Some such guidance this pamphlet is intended to supply. A general economy in the use of food is clearly called for, since its practice will lead to what is now so greatly desirable, an appreciable increase in the current national savings. The country spends some 600,000,000 a year upon its food and a saving of one-tenth of this would be no mean item. But, further, since there is likely to be a serious shortage in particular foodstuffs, and especially in meat, a wise course of economy will include a serious endeavour to substitute the more plentiful for the less plentiful foods. There exists, it is true, a consideration of importance which somewhat complicates the course of simple retrenchment; the necessity, namely, of giving first choice when possible to the foodstuffs which are produced at home, so that our indebtedness to other countries may grow no faster than is necessary during the war. On this point the Government must give the public guidance from time to time. Subject to the qualification just mentioned economy is clearly possible upon each of two lines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Supply: Griffin's "New Land" Series The amount of the Food Supply of the world, or at least that portion of it which is drawn from land, is largely de pendent upon the cultivation of the soil. In some cases, cultivation has for its Object the production of cereals and other crops, which directly form a considerable portion of the food consumed by man. In other cases, the land is cultivated and plants are grown to produce food for animals, which are destined to be slaughtered and become our principal meat supply; while, in ordinary farming practice, a combination of both systems is pursued. N o doubt a certain portion of our food supply is obtained by the slaughter of wild and of domestic animals which have earned their living on land lying in a state of nature; but the amount thus derived constitutes so small a por tion of the whole, that it deserves comparatively little consideration. Taking it as granted that our Food Supply, directly or indirectly, depends upon the result of the work of those who cultivate the soil, the practical consideration of the methods pursued by British farmers, the crops they grow, and the live-stock they produce, may well form a basis of study for those who intend to become farmers, whether at home or abroad.

Book excerpt: The remarkable untold story of France’s courageous, clever vinters who protected and rescued the country’s most treasured commodity from German plunder during World War II. "To be a Frenchman means to fight for your country and its wine." –Claude Terrail, owner, Restaurant La Tour d’Argent In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown–until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.

Download or read book The Hungry World written by Nick Cullather and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food was a critical front in the Cold War battle for Asia. “Where Communism goes, hunger follows” was the slogan of American nation builders who fanned out into the countryside to divert rivers, remodel villages, and introduce tractors, chemicals, and genes to multiply the crops consumed by millions. This “green revolution” has been credited with averting Malthusian famines, saving billions of lives, and jump-starting Asia’s economic revival. Bono and Bill Gates hail it as a model for revitalizing Africa’s economy. But this tale of science triumphant conceals a half century of political struggle from the Afghan highlands to the rice paddies of the Mekong Delta, a campaign to transform rural societies by changing the way people eat and grow food. The ambition to lead Asia into an age of plenty grew alongside development theories that targeted hunger as a root cause of war. Scientific agriculture was an instrument for molding peasants into citizens with modern attitudes, loyalties, and reproductive habits. But food policies were as contested then as they are today. While Kennedy and Johnson envisioned Kansas-style agribusiness guarded by strategic hamlets, Indira Gandhi, Marcos, and Suharto inscribed their own visions of progress onto the land. Out of this campaign, the costliest and most sustained effort for development ever undertaken, emerged the struggles for resources and identity that define the region today. As Obama revives the lost arts of Keynesianism and counter-insurgency, the history of these colossal projects reveals bitter and important lessons for today’s missions to feed a hungry world.
