Preface This symposium, held on the occasion of the regular 1974 annual meeting of the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council, represents the culmination of a 2-year effort of that Board and the Board on Agriculture and Renewable Resources. As such it recognizes both the agricultural and the human nutrition aspects of the general issue of the quantity and composition of fats in foods of · · . amma ongm. The program was developed by an organizing committee representing the interests of both Boards to assess the need for change in fat quantity and composition, production and marketing factors bearing thereon, and certain aspects of human nutrition and dietary habits. These issues are addressed in the context of widespread recognition of hunger in many places, reduction in world food reserves, increased costs of animal feeds, the interplay of market forces, the energy costs of converting plant materials to animal tissue, and the shifts in diet that commonly ac- company increasing affluence. . . .
