Read MoreMore than 800 million people across the world go to bed hungry each night. As the global population grows, so do the opportunities and challenges associated with ending global hunger. Feed the Future is working to combat global hunger through partnership and innovation.
The current COVID-19 pandemic has touched every corner of the world. Feed the Future is taking action to bolster food systems and keep nutrition strong.
As the U.S. Government’s global hunger and food security initiative, we’re addressing the root causes of poverty, hunger and malnutrition and transforming lives.
To achieve this, Feed the Future works hand-in-hand with partner countries to develop their agriculture sectors and break the vicious cycle of poverty and hunger. We are helping people feed themselves and creating important opportunities for a new generation of young people, while building a more stable world.
Read our latest progress report to learn more about our results through the years and read the stories of lives changed.
To make progress, we’re striving for a meaningful, sustained impact in areas that have the most potential for sustained growth. We currently focus our efforts in 12 target countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean.
Bangladesh has great potential to drive inclusive and sustainable agriculture-led economic growth, strengthen resilience among people and systems and boost nutrition, especially among women and children. Nearly half of all Bangladeshis are employed in agriculture and a large majority of the rural population is involved in fisheries. To help advance the lives and livelihoods of Bangladeshis, Feed the Future’s efforts increase agriculture-led growth, strengthen resilience and engage the private sector.
The U.S. Government can't achieve global food security alone. We rely on a number of partners in the U.S., ranging from companies to universities to passionate individuals.
