Food security policy in Africa between disaster relief and structural adjustment

Examines the ongoing policy debate about ways to create a reliable food source for people in Africa, the effectiveness of policies that have been adopted, and the case of Tanzania and its remote rural Rukwa Region. Concludes that biases based on gender, income, and price are inhibiting economic and agricultural growth and entitlements to food.
