Africa Does Not Have to Starve

A Nobel Peace Prize winner and a Georgetown professor highlight why we need to stop shipping USA food to starving countries.  Surprisingly, they make a good deal of sense and I learned a bunch in this short article.

"What we are advocating is already in place. The World Food
Program, the food-aid agency of the United Nations, has been
buying food in African agricultural markets successfully
for years using European aid funding, while Canada announced
this week they were moving to 100% untied food aid."

I just found this article very interesting and thought provoking.

If others are doing it, the UN is doing, why couldn’t we?  Read the whole article here:
