Abstract
ABSTRACT The World Food Summit of November 1996 again called attention to one of the more shocking ethical dilemmas of our time: in a world that regularly produces surplus food, approximately 800 million people are undernourished. This paper first looks at the recent successes and failures of improving nutrition in developing countries, and then examines the origins, contradictions and compromises of the 1996 Summit. An analysis of Canada's recent performance in support of food security in developing countries shows flagging interest in this urgent issue. Canada's Action Plan for Food Security, an advanced draft of which is reviewed here by the authors, may provide needed leadership in this area, but only if action strategies are developed and funded adequately.
