From WARREN RAYLE
The resolute optimism expressed by Roland Hirsch in his letter ‘Thought
for food’ (28 April) should entitle him to consideration for a high post
in the US government, if indeed he does not already hold one.
He would counter the adverse effects of climate instability on world
food production with (assumed) beneficial effects of governmental instabilities
in Eastern Europe. But very little nutritive value is to be found in a ‘list
of possibilities for increasing the world’s food supply’, however ‘endless’.
