Background Information
McDougall Memorial Lectures
Frank Lidgett McDougall was an Australian economist. He is author of the 1934 document now known as the “McDougall Memorandum,” which was instrumental in galvanizing international opinion on the problem of food distribution as it relates to underfed populations. In 1942, he met United States president, Franklin Roosevelt and outlined his idea of an international agency devoted to solving world problems of food production and distribution. Consequently, Roosevelt convened the first United Nations Conference on Food and Agriculture in Hot Springs, Virginia (USA) in 1943. The results of this conference led to the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN.
McDougall died on 15 February 1958, in Rome Italy, at the age of 74. The McDougall Memorial Lecture was instituted in 1958 by the Twenty-ninth Session of the Council of FAO, acting on a proposal of Director-General B.R. Sen.
