Sinopsis

How policy, farming, and trade shape a nation’s bread security

This concise exploration examines how a country’s home-grown wheat options, farming practices, and international trade affect its ability to feed itself. It looks at historical trends, data comparisons, and policy ideas that aim to reduce dependence on imports and strengthen food resilience.

Drawing on early twentieth-century analysis, the book discusses the limits of wheat production, the role of prices, and the challenges of expanding acreage while maintaining profitable farming. It considers the potential for increased yields, the impact of fertilizer use, and the balance between agriculture and other crops in securing future supplies.

  • Assess how domestic wheat production compares with imports and what that means for national security.
  • Learn how policy shifts and farming choices could influence future output and price stability.
  • Review historical data on acreage, yields, and international wheat trade to frame current debates.
  • Understand the risks and opportunities involved in expanding home wheat supplies.

Ideal for readers of economic history, policy analysis, and food security, this edition offers clear context for the ongoing discussion about securing bread supplies.

Reseña del editor

Parliament in enacting the Corn Production Act has decided rightly or wrongly that our National policy for some years to come shall be to make our country more self-supporting in the matter of food. The time has therefore come for us to consider the fundamentals of the task which is set before us.
