Feed the Future Guide
The Feed the Future Guide describes the strategic approach and implementation structures of Feed the Future (FTF), the U.S. global hunger and food security initiative. It is intended to inform partners and stakeholders about the development of FTF and how we translate our principles into actions on the ground. This guide is a living document. As the USG continues to consult with partners and learn lessons, it will update this guide to reflect the evolution of Feed the Future.
