Synopsis
Does U.S. food aid actually build markets or simply provide short-term relief? This hearing examines whether the Title I program under Public Law 480 is meeting its goals and how it could be improved.
The discussion centers on the long-running Food for Peace effort, its impact on market development, and the challenges of changing economic conditions since 1990. It analyzes budget pressures, international trade considerations, and how reforms might align U.S. aid with broader policy objectives while remaining consistent with trade agreements.
- What Title I is designed to accomplish in developing countries and where it succeeds or falls short
- Ideas for a top-to-bottom review and possible changes to pricing, terms, and flexibility
- How the program relates to broader trade policy, including the Uruguay Round
- Ways to better align food aid with market development and fiscal considerations
Ideal for readers interested in food aid policy, international development, and how government programs shape global markets.

Market Development in Food for Peace, Is It Working? (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book critically examines the consequences of continuing the Market Development in Food For Peace (MDFFP) program, which attempts to solve several interconnected problems, including hunger reduction, economic development and trade expansion. The author presents evidence suggesting that in its current form, the program has fallen short of its intended goals of promoting sustainable economic development and market development for US agricultural exports. The book identifies the program's overcomplexity and overabundance of sometimes competing objectives as factors impeding its ability to function effectively. Additionally, the author posits that the geopolitical landscape has shifted from the time the program was created, rendering it misaligned with the challenges and opportunities of the present day. The author suggests changes to the MDFFP program, such as increasing flexibility, to make it more adaptable to the needs of recipient countries. The book also suggests an expansion of the program's scope to include a broader array of financing options and mechanisms for delivering food assistance. The author concludes that the MDFFP program, in its current form, needs updating and amending to better meet the needs of food-insecure nations and to promote sustainable agricultural practices.
