PLANIFICACION, POBLACION Y DESARROLLO ; Local Abstract: [PIP] The cases of Mexico, Kenya, and India are described to illustrate the difficulty of assuring national food supplies in the face of rapid population growth. In 1985, despite a world cereal surplus, some 700 million of the earth's poorest inhabitants lacked sufficient food to support a normal life, and some 17 million children died of malnutrition or diseases aggravated by malnutrition. 16% of today's Third World population lacks sufficient food to maintain health. Rapid population growth is a cause of hunger in both countries and households. In already densely populated countries such as Bangladesh, population growth reduces the availability of agricultural land for each rural family, causing rural incomes to decrease and worsening rural unemployment. Few developing countries have been able to avoid serious urban unemployment and underemployment. Unstable governments try to calm urban unrest by concentrating all social and economic investment in the cities, causing suffering and diminished production in the countryside. Today more than 60 countries have food deficits. The majority of them are poor and becoming poorer. India, Kenya, and Mexico have had relative success in balancing food production and population growth, but each still has malnutrition due to inadequate economic policies for most of the poor and to implacable population growth. India's population of 785 million is growing at a rate of 2.3%/year. 1984 per capita calorie consumption was 92% of the required minimum. The poorest 20% of the population shared 7% of total household income. Since 1950 food production in India has almost tripled, but population nearly doubled in the same years. Poor food distribution and unequal agricultural progress have meant that malnutrition continues to plague India. Approximately 45% of the population suffered some degree of malnutrition in 1986. It is unlikely that India's future agricultural progress will be as rapid as that of the past 3 decades. Erosion, deforestation, and flooding are becoming serious problems. Kenya's population of 21 million is growing at a rate of 4.2% annually, the fastest in the world. Despite impressive growth in the 2 decades after independence, per capita income has not increased as much with the population doubling in approximately 17 years. The poorest 20% of the population share 2.6% of household income, and per capita calorie consumption has dropped to 88% of the requirement from 98% in 1965. Mexico's population of 82 million is growing at a rate of 2.6% annually, down from 3.5% in 1974 when a serious family planning program was begun. Despite an average per capita calorie consumption 126% of the requirement, rural poverty and poor income distribution mean that hunger is widespread. Most peasants growing their own food depend on poor soil and uncertain rainfall. Progress in largescale agriculture has slowed considerably since 1940-65.
