U.S. Government Global Food Security Strategy

The updated Global Food Security Strategy is our roadmap to that better future. It charts an ambitious course to reduce global poverty, hunger, and malnutrition in the face of COVID-19, climate change, growing conflict, and rising inequality through Feed the Future, the U.S. government’s (USG) global hunger and food-security initiative. It brings America’s full strength to bear on these challenges by drawing on the expertise of agencies across the U.S. government.
