"There's no more dioxin in there now than when Indians paddled their canoes on it," he declared, though he provided no studies to support his views. On the subject of agriculture, Dr. Jones had some equally unconventional views, suggesting that in a global context it does not really matter whether Canadian farmers grow food or not. "I said in the mid -50s if you shut down shop tomorrow you won't go hungry, because someone else will feed you," he said. "You can say the same today - but we would be poorer because we would have lost that resource." He added that, contrary to the Malthusian view, the world popu- lation is not out -growing its food supply. India is not a hungry nation, he said, and China exports food. "Europe has so much food it's running out their eyes." "We thought North America would be the bread -basket of the world," he went on, "but the Third World can no longer afford our food - and it never will be able to." He also claimed that "the State of Illinois can grow more grain than all of Canada." After touching on the problems createdby unequal subsidies to producers, Dr. Jones predicted that a lot of young people will be getting out of farming and those who remain will be part-time farmers, adding he sees nothing wrong with that. "There will always be an abundance (offood) in our corner of the world," he concluded, saying "The biggest thing we have to learn to live with is the challenge of abundance." Mr. Palmer followed with his report as OFA regional director, telling the meeting about the OFA's priorities for the year. These include setting up debt review boards, looking at free trade and its implications for agriculture, protecting supply management, pressing for right - to -farm legislation and addressing the problems of rural child care and the new "Spills Bill".
