World food policy debate favors market channels over global agency
Grant argues against an international super agency to store and distribute food worldwide citing risks of mismanagement and market distortion. He proposes a short term international food fund funded by all nations and purchases through normal trade channels, and urges sustained aid, new technologies, and incentives to boost long term production including green revolution gains and expanded use of fertilizer and equipment. He notes Brazil's soybean surge as proof funds and technology aid can lift less developed agricultures.
