Program details & compliance
Description
America’s farmers and ranchers are the best in the world – blessed with the most bountiful land, armed with the most innovative techniques, and supported by an agricultural policy that encourages bold approaches but protects against risk. Since the advent of the Marshall Plan in 1945, it has been the policy of the United States to share its agricultural bounty with those less fortunate around the world.
This program will enhance and complement existing international food assistance programs through the purchase of U.S. agricultural commodities and their donation to destination countries which are:
(a) Currently experiencing an acute shortage of food, due to exigent circumstances such as (but not limited to) natural disaster, civil conflict, or resultant population movements;
(b) Friendly to the United States; and
(c) Seeking to improve their political or economic stability through sound, evidence-based policy decisions.
Funded projects will reduce the trade deficit and make America safer, stronger and more prosperous, while advancing the Department’s core objectives, and ensuring a return on investment for American farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers.
