[Computer planning of average per capita requirements of the population in nutrients and energy]

The expediency, feasibility and effectiveness of employing computors for multivariant calculations of an average per capita requirement of the population in basic nutrients and energy are substantiated. The prodcedures involved in preparation of the initial information are described and the fundamental parts of the program elaborated in "fortran" language and tentatively tested with an "EC-1020" type computor are discussed. The devised program may be adopted as a standard one.
