Ending global hunger is one the greatest challenges and opportunities of our time. Feed the Future is working to solve it through partnerships and innovation. Our model was born from an understanding that business as usual was not going to create the sustainable, long-term change needed to end chronic hunger and poverty. So, we forged a new approach.
Feed the Future brings together partners from across various sectors and the U.S. Government to use each of our unique skills and insights in a targeted, coordinated way to help countries that are ripe for transformation change the way their food systems work.
As the U.S. Government’s global hunger and food security initiative, Feed the Future works to give families and communities in some of the world’s poorest countries the freedom and opportunity to lift themselves out of food insecurity and malnutrition. By equipping people with the knowledge and tools they need to feed themselves, we are addressing the root causes of poverty and hunger, helping people end their reliance on aid, and creating important opportunities for a new generation of young people—all while building a more stable world.
WHERE WE WORK & WHY
Feed the Future invests in countries that are committed to improving their own food security and nutrition. Our selection is based on:
Level of need
Potential for our programs to spur growth
Opportunities for partnership
Opportunities for regional efficiencies
Host government commitment
Resource availabilityCOUNTRY OWNERSHIP
We believe the best development solutions are the ones that continuously empower others to get in the game and carry the work forward. Feed the Future helps partner country governments create better policy and organization for food security and nutrition to ultimately help them move from vulnerability to self-reliance.

RESEARCH & INNOVATION
Research in agriculture is one of the most effective of all investments at reducing poverty, hunger and malnutrition. Feed the Future invests in research and develops innovation that are critical to the future of agriculture in developing countries, as well as America, through a network of U.S. universities and international and national research centers.

RESILIENCE FOR THE FUTURE
To guarantee lasting food security for future generations and reduce the need for costly humanitarian aid in the future, Feed the Future bridges the gap between humanitarian and development efforts by helping vulnerable communities and regions build resilience to complex risks, including addressing the root causes of recurrent food crises.STORIES
While the work of fighting global hunger can be complex, the goal is simple: to save the lives of real people. Behind every statistic is a life—a child who doesn't need to wonder whether he'll eat dinner tonight, a mother who can now earn an income selling her own vegetables, a researcher bringing a new irrigation system to a small village. These are their stories.BUSINESSES
Feed the Future aims to build long-term food security and stimulate broad-based, long-lasting economic growth, which our partner countries ultimately own and lead. We need businesses with expertise and a desire to expand into new markets to help make it happen.
Together, we are equipping smallholder farmers with the tools, skills, resources and connections needed to improve their incomes and help sustainably grow and transform agricultural economies into healthy ones that create opportunity and benefit us all.
Successful public-private partnerships are mutually beneficial relationships: You further your business goals while helping us transform economies to reduce poverty, hunger and undernutrition. We both bring unique core capacities that benefit our joint work. We co-design, co-fund and co-implement the project, sharing the risks, responsibilities and results.
Our Partners
The business community is a key partner in our work, including more than 60 U.S. companies whose expertise and ingenuity we’ve leveraged — in addition to international businesses and the extensive network of local companies in countries where we work.
