Abstract
The Granger statistical test of causality was used to examine the relationship between
total food imports and urbanization and between food aid and urbanization. Urbanization
appears to have caused total food imports to increase in 13 of the 24 countries. Food
imports appear to be a cause of urbanization in three countries. Food aid, however,
apparently was a cause of urbanization in 16 of the 24 countries used in the analysis.
