Conference report: The 2013 G8 Summit: questioning the New Alliance
Earlier commitments by the G8 to support agriculture in the wake of the 2007-08 food price crises have been partly forgotten. However, last year's G8 Summit saw the launch of the ‘New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition’, and a year on, ‘Nutrition for Growth’ attracted donor focus at a meeting leading up to this year's summit. Yet doubts exist about whether the New Alliance, under its current design, risks harming rather than helping Africa's smallholder farmers.
