Office of Food for Peace
The Challenge
Nearly 800 million people in the world are food insecure. Food insecurity fuels political instability and environmental degradation. Reducing the number of chronically undernourished and underweight people throughout the world is both a humanitarian concern and a strategic goal. P.L. 480 Title II, administered by USAID’s Office of Food for Peace (FFP), is a people-to-people program, from the people of the United States to people overseas who do not have access to sufficient food to meet their needs for healthy and productive lives. U.S. Government support for overseas food aid was formalized in the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, also known as P.L. 480. The basic legislation, which has been modified over time, establishes the U.S. policy for using abundant U.S. agricultural resources and food processing capabilities to enhance food security in the developing world through the provision of culturally acceptable nutritious food commodities.
