US Department of Agriculture hands over $33 million to Planet Aid
In its last days the outgoing Bush administration has given $33.8 million to Planet Aid, the North American branch of Tvind’s ‘humanitarian organisation’ Humana People to People. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has donated wheat to that value under The Food for Progress Program. Planet Aid has got the donations for Humana projects in Malawi and Mozambique. According to USDA the Humana projects in these African countries will be “funded by sales of the donated U.S. commodities within the recipient countries”. The donation to Tvind via Planet Aid is 15 percent of the whole USDA donation in 2009 to the Food for Progress Program (212 million dollars).
