Nicaragua 'undermined' by U.S.
Land reform called key to hunger problem   /
By Robbie DiMaelo
Stqff Writer
U.S. involvement in Nicaragua is undermining, rather than contributing, to the
development of the small Central American country, said Kevin Danaher research
analyst for the Food First Institute of San
Francisco.
Danaher, who anaylzes food and development policies, spoke yesterday morning
before a small audience on "Food and
Farming In the New Nicaragua," as part
of the activities of Central America Week,
which concluded yesterday. Danaher
focused on the aftermath of the Sandi-
nista revolution in Nicaragua.
