Workers in the pediatric field have recognized that undernutrition is of major importance in developing countries around the world and have expressed interest in the extent to which efforts have been made in the United States to deal with this problem. This report attempts to bring together information from a wide variety of sources and to summarize the considerable efforts that have been made in dealing with these problems of undernutrition. It may provide a basis for future planning and involvement on the part of those concerned with solutions for the food problems abroad as well as the application of experience with them to situations in this country. The vital importance of nutrition was forcefully described by the President's Science Advisory Committee in its 1968 report on the "World Food Problem." The principal findings and conclusions reached were stated as follows: 1. the scale, severity, and duration of the world food problem are so great that a massive, long-range, innovative effort unprecedented in human history will be required to master it; 2. the solution of the problem that will exist after about 1985 demands that programs of family planning and population control be initiated now. The food supply is critical for the immediate future; 3. food supply is directly related to agricultural development and, in turn, agricultural development and overall economic development are critically interdependent in the hungry countries; and 4. a strategy for attacking the world food problem will, of necessity, encompass the entire foreign economic assistance effort of the United States in concert with other developed countries, voluntary institutions, and international organizations.

Agricultural Extensification

<p>Arable land availability for agricultural extensification is a determining factor to achieve Indonesia’s food self-sufficiency and to become the world food supplier in 2045. This study aimed to evaluate land reserves for future agricultural development. Spatial analysis was conducted using land cover map, peatland distribution map, indicative map of suspension of new permits, forest status map, licensing map, and agricultural land use recommendation map. The land assumed to be potentially available should be (i) idle land covered by shrub as well as bare land, (ii) agronomically suitable for agriculture, (iii) within the designated area of non-forest uses (APL), conversion production forest (HPK), or production forest (HP), (iv) outside the moratorium area, and (v) outside the licensed area. Analysis results show that out of 29.8 million hectares of idle land, only about 7.9 million hectares are potentially available for future agricultural extensification. The available potential land area is much less than that required to meet the self-sufficiency target and to become the world food storage by 2045, i.e. of 5.3 million hectares for rice crop, shallot and sugar cane, and about 10.3 million hectares for upland rice, maize, soybean, peanut, mungbean, sugar cane, shallot, cassava, and sweet potato. Therefore, the main strategies to take are intensification of existing agricultural land and a strict control of agricultural land conversion.</p><p> </p><p>Abstrak</p><p>Ketersediaan lahan untuk ekstensifikasi lahan pertanian menjadi salah satu faktor penentu keberhasilan untuk mempertahankan swasembada pangan dan untuk menjadikan Indonesia sebagai lumbung pangan dunia menjelang tahun 2045. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi cadangan lahan yang tersedia untuk pengembangan areal pertanian ke depan. Analisis spasial dilakukan menggunakan peta tutupan lahan, peta sebaran lahan gambut, peta indikatif penundaan pembukaan izin baru, peta status kawasan hutan, peta perizinan, dan peta arahan tata ruang pertanian. Lahan yang diasumsikan potensial tersedia adalah lahan yang (i) lahan telantar yang ditutupi semak belukar dan lahan terbuka, (ii) secara agronomis sesuai untuk pertanian, (iii) berada pada peruntukan kawasan areal penggunaan lain (APL), hutan produksi konversi (HPK), hutan produski (HP), (iv) berada di luar areal moratorium, dan (v) berada di luar areal yang sudah memiliki perizinan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dari sekitar 29,8 juta ha lahan telantar, hanya sekitar 7,9 juta ha yang berpotensi tersedia untuk ekstensifikasi pertanian masa depan. Luas lahan potensial tersedia ini jauh lebih rendah dari kebutuhan lahan untuk memenuhi target swasembada dan mewujudkan Indonesia sebagai lumbung pangan dunia menjelang 2045 yaitu 5,3 juta ha untuk padi sawah, bawang dan tebu dan sekitar 10,3 juta ha untuk padi gogo, jagung, kedelai, kacang hijau, kacang tanah, tebu, bawang merah, ubi jalar, ubi kayu. Oleh karena itu, strategi utama yang harus ditempuh adalah intensifikasi lahan pertanian eksisting dan pengendalian konversi lahan pertanian secara ketat.</p>

This chapter looks at recent Catholic social thought in the United States in the age of globalization and after the financial crisis of 2007–08, drawn from four schools of thought: progressive, neoconservative, liberationist, and communitarian. As an exponent of progressive Catholicism, Meghan J. Clark has promoted an interpretation of Catholic social teaching focused on human rights and solidarity, whereas Samuel Gregg has furthered the neoconservative perspective by promoting free markets and commerce. Illustrating the varieties of liberation theology in the United States, Christine Firer Hinze has reflected on economic life from a feminist perspective, while Mária Teresa Dávila draws on Latino/a theology. William T. Cavanaugh has offered a communitarian critique of globalization. The chapter concludes with a proposal for an organicist communitarian vision of economic life, guided by a theology of interruption rooted in the proclamation of the Gospel and open to dialogue with others.

Abstract Despite the rise of ‘human rights’ histories in recent decades, the subset of social rights has been largely neglected. To the degree that social rights—to subsistence, work and education—are acknowledged, they tend to be treated as ‘second-generation rights’—as mid-twentieth-century additions to the corpus of civil and political rights stretching back to the eighteenth century. This article shows that debates over social rights also stretch back to that period. The author discusses why historians of the French Revolution have largely neglected social rights. One reason has to do with post-Cold War conceptions of human rights, which stress their liberal rather than socio-economic content. Another has to do with the recent tendency to subsume the ‘social’ within late eighteenth-century liberal political economy. In their effort to recast revolutionaries as ‘social liberals’—as espousing free markets and social welfare—historians have obscured deep tensions over social rights and the obligation, or ‘duty’, to finance them.
