SFU speaker says food roduction most urgent problem The 'Rt. Rev. David Ragg, Bishop of the Diocese of Huron Anglican Church, addressed the Regional meeting of the National Farmers Unidn • in Guelph recently.' Bishop Ragg said that the production of food is the most pressing, problem 'in "the world today. A ,special U.N. , con- ference has been called to, discuss the shortage of food in some parts ' of •the world, and a ' complete lack of food in other • parts of ' 'the world, . where deaths caused by starvation are 10,000 a week. A It is easy to blame the population, increase, problems of.transportation, poor seasons, corruption among officials, Mr. Ragg said,- and added there is probably • i semblance of truth in all of these reasons. Mr. Ragg continued: "The world is capable of feeding; itself, but not at the•expense of the farming community. It is the corporate responsibility of 'each nation to ,find out the means by which the feeding of• the world can be achieved. "We still have quotas, freezes, uncertainties for producers, but there seems to be no quotas on those who, will be left to die of starvation. The Gov iliThents will continue to look at emergencies rather than how to cure the problem. "The Provincial Govern- ments - of Alberta, Saskat- chewan and British 'Columbia have seen a responsibility in matching the conte ibutions given by voluntary agencies and 'church organizations to third. world countries." However, in Ontario they say that development aid is a Federal responsibility. "Agriculture has been part of our existence for so long that' Governments take •it for' granted. We must"have a land use policy or we will not always be on agricultural country. You cannot grow food through blacktop, ,% you cannot take O prime. agricultural land out of production,and still protluce food. You a�"'nnot put all your trust: .in expanding industry which takes over more and more land and still expect to grow food for an, expanding industrial population. "I t seems ridiculous that the Ontario Government can freeze land for parks, Hydro - con- struction, '"highways and give. lip service to the development of a- land use' policy.
