International Implications

Paul Streeten

Chapter 19 in What Price Food?, 1987, pp 93-95 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract International interdependence has become a slogan. It is certainly true that, as a result of the technological revolutions in transport and communications, world interdependence has greatly increased. According to the US Presidential Commission on World Hunger ‘world grain trade is so tightly integrated that a crop failure anywhere in the world may adversely affect the most remote villages … The lives of the estimated 800 million to be living in absolute poverty are put at risk every time there is a drought in Kansas, or floods in India, or a late frost in the Ukraine.’1
