The Politics of Food
Many of the West's commodities come from the Third World, yet it's the people there who produce them who are the first to go hungry - not consumers in the industrialised world. Has the concentration on cash crops widened the gap between rich and poor? Does food aid foster dependence on imports and alter local tastes?
Is the global supermarket now dominated by multinational food companies?
Answering your questions for this One World Week phone-in are Idriss Jazairy , President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and Dr Susan George , author of How the Other Half Dies.
Sue MacGregor is in the Chair. Produced by the Woman's Hour unit Lines open from 8.0 0 am
