From the standpoint of recovery from the war, the problem
of the food resources of the world is one of special interest. With full recognition of the importance of agricultural raw materials for industrial use, attention is here confined to foodstuffs, feeding stuffs, and farm animals. It seems simplest to proceed with the discussion topically rather than chronologically. Wherever comparisons are made between pre-war and present positions, allowance for change in population has been made in accordance with the somewhat fragmentary data available in official records. The definition of the food resources of the world must include terms both of statics and dynamics. The food resources are a composite of the goods (the foodstuffs) and the services in commerce and distribution through which these are made available for consumption. It is easy to overemphasize the goods, to undervalue the services. The Great War effected a decline of production in Europe and Russia, a distortion of production elsewhere. The services in commerce were directly perverted in Europe and less directly, though still effectually, elsewhere. Post-war reconstruction includes recovery from direct and indirect effects on production and restoration of the appropriate services in commerce. The purpose of this article is to sketch in broad outlines the war injuries and the post-war recoveries, and to indicate that the processes of production have made relatively more rapid recovery than the processes of commerce. As the war developed, it affected, to some extent, the forces engaged in ravitaillement in practically all countries of the world. The specific injuries may be described and given a qualitative appraisal, but not a quantitative estimation. World statistics on food production, inadequate at the best, fell into disorganization during the war. The forces tending towards recovery are open to qualitative appraisal, but again cannot be stated in quantitative terms, for reasons of deficiencies in statistical data. It is, however, possible to formulate an appropriate statement of the present position, as contrasted with that of 1914.
TYPES OF FOOD RESOURCES
1.Forest resources 2.Ocean 3.Animals
FOREST RESOURCES: What can we get
from the forest? Latex Rubber Gloves. Washing the dishes or a trip to the dentist wouldn't be the same without latex rubber gloves. ... Sponges. A soft and squishy product like a sponge is made from wood fibers? ... Wine Corks. Did you know there's a difference between a cork tree and a cork oak? Chewing gum. ... Car wax. ... Hair Dye. ... Chocolate. OCEAN RESOURCES: Seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans. Seafood prominently includes fish and shellfish. Shellfish include various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms. Historically, sea mammals such as whales and dolphins have been consumed as food, though that happens to a lesser extent in modern times. Edible sea plants, such as some seaweeds and microalgae, are widely eaten as seafood around the world, especially in Asia (see the category of sea vegetables). In North America, although not generally in the United Kingdom, the term "seafood" is extended to fresh water organisms eaten by humans, so all edible aquatic life may be referred to as seafood. For the sake of
completeness, this article includes all
edible aquatic life. ANIMAL RESOURCES:Animal source foods (ASF) include many food item that comes from an animal source such as meat, milk, eggs, cheese and yogurt. Many individuals do not consume ASF or consume little ASF by either personal choice or necessity as ASF may not be accessible or available to these people.
