President Trump signed legislation extending the GFSA for five more years, sending a strong signal that the U.S. continues to help end food insecurity and malnutrition around the globe. USDA agricultural research has a big role to play in achieving these goals.
The Research Strategy is one part of a bigger effort. Eleven federal departments and agencies, including USDA, participate in USG Feed the Future programming under the Global Food Security Act. Through Feed the Future, a projected 23.4M more people are living above the poverty line, 3.4M more children are living free of stunting, and 5.2M more families do not go hungry in the Feed the Future countries.
Total, USG Feed the Future analyzes the food security situation in 76 low- and middle-income countries.
Based on USDA.
