ABSTRACT
Food aid, as we presently know it, was born largely of donor concerns for trade promotion, surplus disposal, and geopolitical advantage. At the macro-level, food aid has remained distressingly tethered to donor concerns, as discussed extensively in Chapters 2-5. There are exceptions, such as the reformed Danish food aid policy detailed in Box 3.1, but at the global level, food aid remains heavily tied to donor objectives.
