In ten countries of the world mechanisation is already wel advanced, with New Zealand hending the list with one tractor to every 36 acres of its cultivated land.

Undoubtedly any world food plan will call fo use of machines, but the problem goes beyond the pro vision of money and the tools it can supply.
