Haiti circa 1992: Haitian girls eat a plate of rice and beans at one of the many feeding centers in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Haiti spent about $400 million in 2008 on food purchases from abroad. The World Food Programme runs child nutrition and “food for work” operations. Fields in the nation’s breadbasket, Artibonite Department, have been periodically swamped by flash floods and mud washed by tropical downpours off barren hillsides.
