Poverty

RE: Poverty
Meanwhile, the developed countries subsidize their farmers to an extent that allows them to sell on the global market at prices that undercut farmers of developing countries, effectively allowing us to 'dump' food on them. It's one thing to send food aid to the Horn of Africa when there's a crisis; it's another to put them in the position of being net food inporters year in and year out because they can't compete with our prices. Needing subsidies is a sign you're in the wrong business. First world farmers shouldn't be supported on the backs of Third World farmers.
