The role of food aid

The role and impact of food aid is a controversial topic. The debate still continues on how best to give humanitarian assistance to the hungry without undermining the 'local' economy and agricultural production. Food aid reconsidered concentrates on recent experience especially in sub-Saharan Africa which became, during the 1980s the most important recipient of food aid. It covers a range of issues that arise in debates on food aid and discusses the means of implementing relevant research and policy decisions in the future.
