This book was released on 1983 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Sixteen technical papers by authors from 13 countries are presented in the proceedings of a 3-day seminar on the current status of food aid programs, held in The Hague in October 1983. The papers are equally distributed over 4 general themes: human development through food aid; the developmental impact and effectiveness of food aid; human needs and the right to food; and contributions of food aid to equitable growth. Thirty-one conclusions reached by the seminar participants are summarized, including the findings that: (1) there currently is a strong case for increasing food, especially for developing nations; (2) food aid remains as a major form of assistance for the poor; (3) the poorest suffer the most from malnutrition and death in famine emergencies; (4) larger resources should be devoted to improving the condition of women; and (5) nutrition programs need to recognize that the weaker members of families are adversely affected by food distribution. Commentaries are also included by representatives of the World Food Programme, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and the United Nations. (wz).

Download or read book European Food Aid Policy written by John Cathie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1997, this book traces the development of European Food Aid Policy from its inception in the 1960s through to the 1990s. This covers the change from a surplus disposal programme in the early days to the present policy.

This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few nutritionists and economists fully appreciate how the political environment shapes policy and subsequently affects the relevance of their policy recommendations When governments fail to follow the recommendations of nutritionists and economists and are unable to design and implement cost-effective nutrition programs and policies, it is often attributed to “politics” or to lack of “political will” on the part of decisionmakers Past nutrition planning efforts frequently failed to understand the goals and behavior of the various agents and institutions inside and outside the government that, in the final analysis, determine whether the planning effort is successful In The Political Economy of Food and Nutrition Policies, Per Pinstrup-Andersen brings together a group of distinguished authorities to improve the understanding of how nutrition policies are formulated within larger political and economic contexts and how public-sector agencies behave with regard to food and nutrition.
