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. South-
western Ontario has over half
