Feed the Future represents a $3.5 billion pledge to tackle global food insecurity.

Almost one billion people suffer from chronic hunger worldwide, and more than 3.5 million children die from undernutrition each year.

An estimated 70 percent of the poor in developing countries live in rural areas, where agriculture can be a key driver for economic growth.

Without enough food, adults struggle to work and children struggle to learn. Chronic hunger creates conditions ripe for conflict.

Feed the Future is the U.S. Government's global hunger and food security initiative. Get updates or partner with us.
