Abstract
Whatever solutions are eventually found for our present production and distribution problems with protein, meat will be the preferred form for the foreseeable future. Beef production in the tropics, where human nutrition has often been characterised by protein deficiency, has long been bedevilled by a variety of difficulties. Recent work in Cuba shows how sugar cane, in conjunction with inorganic nitrogen, can contribute significantly to the solution of some of these problems.
