World Food In The 1990s Production, Trade, And Aid

In this book contributors from various scholarly backgrounds interpret past trends in world food trade, aid and security and propose new policy options for the 1990s. They address the problems facing the distribution of global economic growth and trade between industrialized and developing countries while exploring the effects that supply, demand, assistance programmes, foreign aid and other policy variables have on the evolving world trade and food system. This book should prove of interest to a range of scholars and policymakers dealing with food, health, human rights, Third World development, agricultural economics, international political economy and trade policy.
