Food Aid

Overhaul the current food aid system so that it strives to benefit farmers in the food deficient low income countries instead of the US's agricultural and shipping businesses. In-kind food transfers should only be used in emergency situations in a timely fashion. Otherwise, cash transfers and purchasing food locally are more efficient and provide a needed boost to the economy. Also, a greater investment in long-term agricultural programs is needed to ensure food security.
And stop burning up food in gas hog SUV's. Ban corn ethanol.
You are so close, only inlcude the usage of bamboo and Industrial Hemp as a cash growth crop to the world agaraian movement. Replace wood and oil based plastics with the base compounds of these crops. Start with a new natural chem stock as opposed to the polymers of oil.???
Seems so simple.
