A primary producer must think of items of food as economic units
of bushels and pounds which can be calculated into dollars. This
must be so or agriculture fails as a business.
Yet he knows that food is more than an article of trade: A man
engaged in growing crops and raising livestock has his thinking in-
fluenced by humanitarian considerations.
Agricultural producers in Canada, faced with the paradox of
abundant food and hungry people, have sought a cure for this con-
dition.
Food is the basic element in campaigns now getting under way in
advanced countries to promote better health among the teeming
millions of the world’s population who are under fed.
These campaigns, “Food Bank”, “Food for Peace”, and “Freedom
from Hunger” give new emphasis to the need which exists.
Canada’s financial and agricultural resources can provide worth-
while support to these undertakings if her people are willing.
