Between 1954 and 1974 there was a concerted focus on improving global food security through the Food for Peace program. This dissertation explores the ways that voluntary agencies acted in concert with the U.S. government and recipient nations to address food security through programs focused on feeding vulnerable populations and providing food as payment-in-kind on work projects. Specifically, it looks at programs in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Additionally, it examines why, after 1974, the U.S. government chose to back away from its emphasis on Food for Peace.While Food for Peace was a popular aid program, this dissertation looks at how political maneuvering, the disappearance of surpluses, and a lack of emphasis on agricultural development culminated in the failure of the Food for Peace program to meet its goals in the countries identified above. Moreover, it suggests that this inability to address global food needs when the issue had ample attention reverberates even today, as food insecurity continues in much of the world.
