The politicization of foreign aid reflects the same hubris.

Businesses were encouraged with government subsidies and loans.

Factory farming spread because it seemed to be cheaper than more traditional methods.

The paper includes human rights and a focus on the vulnerable and marginalized, including older persons, as one of three core elements of poverty reduction policy, and will guide negotiations on aid policy in recipient countries.
