What is meant by 'Food for Work' programme?

The policy makers started thinking that incomes and employment for the poor could be increased through the creation of incremental assets and by means of work generation through specific poverty alleviation programmes. This programme aims at ensuring food for poor instead of money. This programme enables the poor to have access to food instead of money as money can give birth to many evils or may be misutilised by the poor. But Food for Work' programme provides assurance to the family of the worker to get minimum food to eat and survive well.
