Abstract

Given that starvation and malnutrition are pervasive among a significant proportion of the population in many developing countries, aid in the form of food may seem to many to be a very appropriate humanitarian gesture on the part of the developed countries. However, economists have expressed serious doubts about the beneficial effects of food aid. The most common argument against it is that it may have a damaging long-term effect on domestic food production, which may lead to permanent dependence on the donor countries for food.
