I don’t want to well-ackshually people starving, buuuut as much as this sucks (and it does suck), USAID wasn’t providing cheap, heavily subsidized cereal crops produced in the US out of a benevolent commitment to charity, it was doing so to continue to prop up overproduction among US farmers and support the post-colonial, export-oriented agricultural economies in Africa. It’s a slim hope, but maybe something better can fill the vacuum.
