4. Page 166 #9  When a natural disaster strikes a developing country, developed countries often send food aid. This food aid, however, can disrupt the local economy. The price of locally grown food drops because free food is available, and farmers lose their income as a result. How should donor countries like Canada deal with such situations?

5. Tied vs Untied Food Aid  “As recently as 2007, more than half of Canadian food aid to developing countries had to be bought in Canada. This was known as tied aid, and it was neither cost effective nor efficient. Tied aid undermines the ability of developing countries to produce or buy goods for themselves and delays assistance from reaching the people who so desperately need it”.  “In 2008, Canada fully untied its food aid, allocating 100 percent of its food aid budget to international procurement and supporting the purchase of food in developing countries”.
