Prom several converging estimates, world's population is expected to reach 6.1 billion by the year 2000 or 1.7 billion more than in 1980. Most of the increase in population will be generated by developing countries in general and by African countries in particular. This means there will have to be a substantial increase in world food production of at least 50 percent.
