Principle of Population" almost 200 years ago. Ever
since then, forecasters have being warning that (1)______
worldwide famine was just around the next corner.

warned, would soon exceed their supply, leading to (2)______
widespread food shortages and starvation.

isolated trouble spots like present-day Somalia, and
occasional years of good harvests, the world’s food (4)______
crisis has remained just around the corner. Most
experts believe this can continue even as if the (5)______

improvements in yield. In Africa, by instance, im- (7)______
proved seed, more fertilizer and advanced growing

yields in an experiment. Elsewhere, rice experts in

and more seeds. There is no guarantee that plant
breeders can continue to develop new, higher-yield
ing crops, and most researchers see their success to (10)______
date as reason for hope. [br] (2)
