In a world of rising global threats, the stakes for global hunger and U.S. national security have rarely been higher. America and the world are at a pivotal moment as unprecedented challenges and global shocks have revealed key weaknesses in the global food system.

Today nearly 15 years after the launch of Feed the Future – the U.S. Government's bipartisan-led, interagency global hunger initiative – we invite you to join USGLC alongside top policymakers and Congressional Champions for the launch of the "Feed the Future Accelerator," the U.S. Government's effort to deepen its partnerships with select countries in Southern and Eastern Africa to drive a new innovative regional agenda that promotes global food security, advances regional and global stability, and helps keep Americans here at home safe.
