A serious concerted effort to alleviate hunger, poverty and malnutrition - to promote "food security" for a continent ....OR a new scramble for Africa, a flimsily disguised outbreak of 21st century colonialism?

Two sharply contrasting views of an initiative which was launched two years ago under the auspices of the G8.....the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition.

We speak to Greg Page, the boss of Cargill, a company involved in the scheme and to Nick Deardan of the World Development Movement.
