Food aid - a Trojan horse.
1988
Dzietror A.
Attention is focussed on the socio-economic and political implications and undertones of food aid. It discusses the historical perspectives of food aid with special mention of the USA Food Aid Law and process which it uses in a manner that is consistent, and a key factor, in American domestic and foreign policy towards developing countries. Food aid is also used to pressurise third world countries to part with their strategic raw materials in exchange for food and to spend on food grain imports. It argues that the food aid is not a philantrophist idea but it is used to cultivate the desire, taste and consumption of American agricultural products as an export drive to the detriment of indigenous agricultural production. Attention is specially focussed on Ghana-USA Title (Food-Aid) agreements. It concludes that Food Aid creates food dependency of Third World on the industrialized countries especially the USA, and is a tool of neo-colonialism.
