Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food aid is a controversial form of development assistance and this book, first published in 1979, seeks to counter allegations from critics by taking account of both direct and indirect affects. Based on field research in Tunisia, Botswana, Upper Volta and Lesotho, it considers aid from the UK, EEC, USAID, the World Food Programme, Canada and France, and draws a number of policy-orientated conclusions about the impact of food aid on nutrition, consumer prices and agricultural production. In the light of the evidence from field studies it is shown that many of the claims advanced by food aid supporters and by critics cannot be sustained, and that the real impact of food aid is rather different from that assumed by the conventional wisdom on the subject.

This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the FAO, one person in three in sub-Saharan Africa suffers from malnutrition, and one in seven is in danger of dying. Most African countries no longer seem capable of ensuring that their people have access to sufficient food. Given the failure of past efforts the objectives of food security policies and their effectiveness have to be reconsidered. This book shows that the debate on food security policies has changed with the passage of time. The entitlement debate triggered by A. Sen had a major influence on this change but, the bearing of socio-economic structures on the food security of African households and their individual members are still not fully recognised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The second in a series of Hunger Project papers discusses the current status, causes, and possible remedies of famine in sub-Saharan Africa. This area represents the only region of the world where food production per capita has declined during the past 20 years, where approximately 150 million people are malnourished. Two widely discussed theories have been offered to explain the decline in good production: the theory of underdevelopment, the theory of comparative advantage. However, these theories (and policies based on them) have serious limitations. Environmental constraints to developing agricultural strategies for agricultural development promotion in Africa also are discussed. The weakness of food aid as a long-term benefit is described. A special report on food deficits in sub-Saharan Africa as of 1984 and a map of Africa also are included. (wz).
