There are currently an estimated 195 million children suffering from
malnutrition around the world, according to the international medical
humanitarian organisation Doctors Without Borders. The problem is compounded
by the politics surrounding global food aid programmes, with critics
concerned that supplies donated consist of nutritionally inadequate
fortified corn-soy flours that fail to provide the nutrients young children
need most. On this episode, we ask: Is the West dumping its substandard food
on the developing world? Do international food donors really provide
sustainable aid or are they actually part of the problem? How can the West
really help the world's poor to beat malnutrition?
