Rejecting American Food Aid

Listen Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2007 at 1:42 p.m. in Economy, Politics, Society

The United States provides almost half of all food donations to the developing world, but according to European countries and the UN World Food Program, the way we deliver that aid is signficantly out-of-date. Recently, CARE, the international humanitarian group, decided to reject American food aid rather than support a system it says "does more harm than good." We look at chronic hunger and humanitarian groups deliver food is delivered to world's starving people.
