from link below: "Ethiopia's food aid addiction
Like a patient addicted to pain killers, Ethiopia seems hooked on aid.

For most of the past three decades, it has survived on millions tonnes of donated food and millions of dollars in cash.

It has received more emergency support than any other African nation in that time"

Penso ti riferisca a un contexto come "Roma, 24 gennaio 2007 - La FAO, l’Organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite per l’alimentazione e l’agricoltura, ha proposto oggi una serie di cambiamenti radicali nel modo in cui sono gestiti e distribuiti gli aiuti alimentari internazionali", no? http://www.fao.org/newsroom/it/news/2007/1000482/index.html

Un altro tsto in inglese, sta volta da Oxfam:
"Food aid or hidden dumping?
Separating wheat from chaff
In a world prone to natural and human disasters, where 850 million people still suffer from hunger, food aid can sometimes be a crucial lifeline. However, food aid has also been used for less noble aims, including to dump surplus production and promote donor country exports. This type of food aid hurts poor farmers and distorts international trade. Strong disciplines against abuse of food aid must be agreed as part of the Doha Round negotiations at the World Trade Organisation" from http://www.oxfam.org.uk/what_we_do/issues/trade/bp71_foodaid...
