Whether South Africa can grow enough food over the next 20 years to meet the needs of a population estimated to be increasing by up to 1 million a year depends primarily on the extent, nature and condition of its natural resources and secondly on how they will be conserved and used. These, together with other relevant matters, are the subjects considered for both White and Black areas, especially as they affect the production of our basic foodstuff--maize. The maize production potential of the homelands is considerable, but at present they are largely dependent on imports obtained from White farms. Possible reasons for this unhealthy state of affairs are discussed. What can be done to enable the homelands to make their contribution to the food supplies of the country?
南非在未来20年能否生产出足够的粮食以满足预计每年增长多达100万的人口需求，主要取决于其自然资源的范围、性质和状况，其次取决于这些资源将如何得到保护和利用。这些因素以及其他相关问题，是白人区和黑人区都要考虑的主题，尤其是因为它们影响到我们基本粮食——玉米的生产。各家园的玉米生产潜力相当大，但目前它们在很大程度上依赖从白人农场获得的进口。文中讨论了这种不良状况可能的原因。可以采取什么措施使各家园为国家的粮食供应做出贡献？
