Food Aid and Food Security

In: Sir Hans Singer

Author

  • D. John Shaw

Abstract

Of all the many issues and concerns that Singer has addressed in his long career, one of his greatest contributions has been to the international debate on food aid.12 There are few aspects of the subject that he has not touched on at one time or another. The epistemic community of food aid specialists has recognized that no other person has had such a dominant impact on the subject (Hopkins, 1992). As we saw earlier, he played a strategic role in the creation of the World Food Programme, the food aid organization of the United Nations system (Shaw, 1998a; Shaw, 2001a). And his consultant services have regularly been sought by bilateral and non-governmental food aid programmes as well as by WFP itself. For his role and services, he was given the WFP Food for Life Award in 2001.
