Like Seaver said, It's an artificial means of subverting nature to try to feed the worlds starving countries. It might work for a little while, and in the mean time their population again booms because there is food available. One day the world won't be able to keep that level of support for their food needs up and then rather than a few starvation deaths here and there, a massive famine happens and you get thousands or hundreds of thousands dead.
Western Agriculture changed many of the african peoples from a subsistence agriculture and hunting/gathering method that worked for that continent, to one that was being used by industrial nations on much more fertile soil.
We won't be slowing down our production. It's a matter of our national security. Perhaps instead, these LDC's should be, without reprisals from the MDC's, imposing huge tariffs on any MDC agricultural imports.
