This Way…
Short -Term Assistance
![Page 12: Mariah Green - Foreign Food Aid Thesis Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f1af8c1a28abb56e8b458d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

This Way…
Importing and Exporting Goods
![Page 14: Mariah Green - Foreign Food Aid Thesis Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f1af8c1a28abb56e8b458d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Or this Way…?
Self- Sufficiency
![Page 15: Mariah Green - Foreign Food Aid Thesis Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f1af8c1a28abb56e8b458d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Does giving Foreign Aid stimulate or destroy the country’s economy?
Controversy 2
![Page 16: Mariah Green - Foreign Food Aid Thesis Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f1af8c1a28abb56e8b458d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Destruction of Local Economies
Local farmers lose money
Lack of local vendors and distribution networks
Particularly if donated food is sold in country (monetization)
![Page 17: Mariah Green - Foreign Food Aid Thesis Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f1af8c1a28abb56e8b458d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Controversy 4: The Double Edge Sword
Food Assistance feeds needy
(positive effects)
Developing nations build a dependency
for Food AID(negative effects)
![Page 20: Mariah Green - Foreign Food Aid Thesis Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f1af8c1a28abb56e8b458d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Alternative Policy Section
![Page 21: Mariah Green - Foreign Food Aid Thesis Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f1af8c1a28abb56e8b458d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Alternative Policy: Stringent Policies with Recipient Governments
Establish a contract between the countries stating that they have to feed a certain amount of citizens
Donor countries will perform an annual visit to recipient countries
![Page 22: Mariah Green - Foreign Food Aid Thesis Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f1af8c1a28abb56e8b458d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
