Man and the Soil
‘THE world’s population, now about ~ 2,350,000,000, is increasing at the rate of 60,000 a day. The world’s food supplies are inadequate even for the existing members. By misuse of the land, millions of acres have ceased to be productive. What can be done to feed these extra people? How can it be done so that the fertility of the soil is safeguarded for future generations? How can we claim new acres from the unproductive areas of the world and how reclaim acres which have been lost? These are some of the questions asked and answered-as far as they can bein Man and the Soil, a BBC series now being heard from 3YC at 7.30 p.m. on Mondays. Within the limits imposed by 15 programmes-two of them discussions -a team of experts ranges over the whole subject of man’s treatment of the soil. The well-known scientific journalist and broadcaster Ritchie Calder advised on the planning of the series, and with other noted experts is heard in the programmes.
