Abstract: Abstract The purpose of aid in agriculture was initially thought to help farmers, but over time these aid proved to be harmful. Aid appeared after the Second World War and was initially thought to help former colonies in Africa and Asia. In time, subsidies were granted in agriculture to help small farmers to continue their activity, to farmers who presented competitive disadvantages compared to big farmers (advanced from a technological and know-how point of view). A brief history of the aid in agriculture and the mechanisms through which they were granted is presented in the chapter. Now, it is concluded that these aids are more harmful because they distance the farmers from the market, from the real conditions and widen the gap between advanced farmers and those who receive aid, leading to involution in agriculture.
