Notes
Food aid from Europe is no longer dominated by the supply of European foodstuffs. The approach is now driven by development concerns, with local and triangular purchasing representing almost two-thirds of the volume of EC food aid in 1996. It involves purchasing foodstuffs from regions with a surplus, either in the same country (local), or in Southern countries (triangular purchases). This means that local dietary practices can be taken into account, and that networks for production and trading networks can be stimulated
