4.7.5: Food Security
Ensuring Food Security. Other Information:
The President and the Democratic Party believe that true development requires much more than delivering aid—it requires building
the capacity of governments and peoples so that assistance is no longer needed. That is why the administration through its
Feed the Future initiative has, with the G-8 and other countries, mobilized more than $22 billion for a global food security
effort aimed at building the capacity of nations to feed themselves. This year, the President launched the next phase of this
global effort—a major new food security partnership to reduce hunger and lift tens of millions of people from poverty across
Africa. These efforts partner with African countries to improve nutrition for children, mitigate risks from volatile food
prices, increase private capital investments, expand access to technologies and information required to boost food production,
and provide greater assistance to countries that implement agricultural reforms.
