Farming for Industry | Nature

ABSTRACT THE three great five claims on the use of agricultural land are the production of crops for human consumption, animal fodder and industrial purposes. Since the Second World War,

attention has of necessity been chiefly directed to increasing food production ; but a proper balance between these three objectives must be developed if land is to be used to full capacity

and the wastage that has so often occurred in the past is to be avoided in the future. This is more likely to be achieved if the needs of industry are better understood. In the present

volume the author gives much useful information as to the sources of supply, consumption and technical processes connected with the production of such commodities as leather, vegetable oils,

tobacco, and textiles from animal and plant fibres. Farming for Industry By R. O. Whyte. (Todd Reference Library.) Pp. 160 + 16 plates. (London: Todd Publishing Group, Ltd., 1948.) 7_s_.
