Two Views of Food Aid

H. W. Singer

Chapter 11 in Market Forces and World Development, 1994, pp 207-211 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We may distinguish two schools of thought. One view is that the case for food aid is tied to emergency situations where it is justified for direct humanitarian reasons. Outside emergencies, there is no real case for food aid since it is fungible with, and usually inferior to, financial aid. I shall call this position the ‘British view’ since this broadly represents the long-held view of the British government and those associated with British NGOs.1
