[4] of cover.  aExamines the issues and controversies surrounding international food aid and seeks ways to preserve its humanitarian role while minimizing the possibility of harmful secondary impacts. Food aid has saved millions of lives, yet it is criticized as a donor-driven response that creates dependency on the part of recipients and undermines local agricultural producers and traders upon whom sustainable food security depends. The economic evidence regarding these issues is surprisingly thin, but it confirms that the timing and targeting of food aid are central to achieving immediate food security objectives. Reforms are necessary but should be untertaken carefully. 0aFood relief 0aFood supply 0aAgriculture 0aHumanitarian assistance1 aPingali, Prabhu L.,1 aRaney, Terri L.2 aFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.2 aFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
