註釋

In May 2012, US President Barack Obama launched the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition (New Alliance) at the G8 Camp David Summit, as a partnership of G8 countries, African governments and private companies, aimed at lifting 50 million people out of poverty over ten years. Ten countries joined: Burkina Faso, Cote dIvoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania and Mozambique in 2012, and Benin, Malawi, Nigeria and Senegal in 2013. A set of commitments from African governments, G8 donors, and private companies were laid out in Country Framework Agreements (CFAs), which differ by country but converge around common approaches. The goal of this paper is to conceptualize the New Alliance as fully as possible, and to situate it in relation to food security and development paradigms, based on the hypothesis that the New Alliance does not have a coherent vision of what constitutes food security, allowing investment to become synonymous with development and food security.
