The Bush administration tried to help Afghanistan's agricultural development through free-market reforms in the agricultural sector of the sort the US doesn't even have for its own agricultural sector.
The Obama administration said it would try to adopt an approach more geared towards agricultural development to produce food for domestic needs for Afghans. We'll see to what extent this really happens.
US government organizations like USAID have had a number of their specialist staff let go in the 1980s and 1990, and today we see the consequence: they're now less competent to manage development projects and have to rely on private contractors who are in for the money.
