An illustration on page 5 of an issue of the USDA publication Consumers' Guide, with a report on the first meeting of the International Emergency Food Council (IEFC) in Washington D.C. The Council was organized to deal with the world food crisis after the end of World War II. It existed independently until 1948, when it absorbed into the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization as the International Emergency Food Committee. The USDA History Collection has extensive records relating to the activities of the Council.
