FOOD PRODUCTION
AND CONSUMPTION
IN DENMARK—
—modern farming methods
enable one agricultural worker
to produce enough food for
4 people. Three-fourths of
the total produced can there-
fore be exported.
IN DANUBIA—
—one agricultural worker
produces food for only 1}
people. But 50 per cent of the
food produced is exported,
leaving a 25 per cent deficiency
for the home population.
