Items related to Food Aid: The Challenge and the Opportunity
Food aid, which has played a key role in responding to the crises afflicting millions of people in developing countries, is the focus of much political discussion, both nationally and internationally. While it has achieved notable successes, there is still doubt and criticism regarding the appropriateness of food aid, and confusion about the deep-rooted problems which perpetuate these calamities. This book provides a lucid discussion of the central issues involved, presenting a balanced assessment of the uses and misuses of food aid and relating these to the complex realities of the international economy.

About the Author:
"In this first-rate book, three experienced development economists weigh the arguments and stipulate the conditions needed for good results. They look also at the history of food aid, its many forms and effects and related issues such as transportation, distribution and supervision. This is very close to being the definitive work."--Foreign Affairs
"A thoughtful analysis...This is a timely publication, accessible to undergraduates, graduates, and the general public who may be concerned about world hunger."--Choice
"Do regular shipments of grain in fact contribute to development? Or do they undermine poor countries' efforts to grow food for themselves? Food Aid, by three practitioner-academics, eloquently argues that it helps."--The Economist
"Provides a wealth of information and analysis that should help decision makers both in government and private entities to improve the effectiveness of their programs and avoid problems and undesirable impacts....Well worth reading both by those who have an interest in food aid as concerned citizens and by those who have operational responsibility in dealing with food aid."--Economic Development and Cultural Change
"A balanced and thorough treatment....Anybody with anything to do with food aid should read this book."--Asian Affairs
