From Kenya to Washington: Who's to Blame for Wasted Food Aid? - Raymond C. Offenheiser - Health - The Atlantic

From Kenya to Washington: Who's to Blame for Wasted Food Aid? - Raymond C. Offenheiser - Health - The Atlantic: "The hard truth is that if we want our aid programs to work, we are going to have to stop treating them like corporate welfare. We need to cut the red tape that prevents aid agencies from buying food aid locally and regionally from farmers in developing countries. This will require courage from legislators to stand-up to powerful lobbyists and keep their hands out of the food-aid cookie jar."
