The funny part is that they're sending agricultural tools and inputs now, too, but it's in service of a postcolonial export-oriented economy rather than building resilient local food systems, so people are still going hungry.
"here's some ag tools. now only grow this one monocrop to sell to us. in exchange you can have access to our ag market for foodstuffs. oh and get uppity and we will starve you to death. good luck transitioning from your monocrop to food production before your whole country starves." - the U.S.
