Frank: It says the Cairo Conference determined that technology will supply enough food for the population of the future....but we'll all have to eat standing up.

An expert economist has estimated that, if the agricultural techniques used in the U.S. were to be used throughout the world, there would be enough food to feed fifteen to twenty times as many people as are now living (something that will never happen, because Earth’s population is likely to be shrinking before the year 2050, according to the U.N.).
