The theory of foliation currents, devised by \textit{D. Sullivan} in Invent. Math. 36, 225-255 (1976; Zbl 0335.57015), and Comment. Math. Helv. 54, 218-223 (1979; Zbl 0409.57025), is utilized to answer the question: Given a codimension-one foliation on a manifold M, which real-valued functions on M can be realized as the mean curvature function of the leaves for some Riemannian metric on M?
