Extract

After years of teaching Development Administration for, our Master of International Agriculture program at California Polytechnic, I worked for two years directly with subsistence farmers in Africa. That experience forced me to conclude that this generation of Cal Poly graduates must learn how they, acting with others, can alleviate hunger in the late-developing countries, especially in Agriculture, Architecture and Engineering. New knowledge about available resources, about people and their natural increase, and about production and distribution of food combine to show that starvation is not necessary. Like slavery and smallpox, hunger can be eliminated from the face of the earth.
