From his very first day in office, John F. Kennedy was intent on using America’s food abundance to help reduce hunger in the world. Among his first appointments were George McGovern as his White House director of Food for Peace and Orville Freeman, also a proponent of food aid used for economic development, as his secretary of agriculture. This chapter relates how Kennedy, in his short three years in office, sought to reorient American food aid from surplus disposal to economic development in the world’s poorer countries, and it recounts the failure of his administration to deal successfully with the continuing farm problems in the United States.
