The US currently addresses issues related to global hunger and food security through two primary types of approaches - agricultural development, and emergency and humanitarian food aid and assistance. For FY2010, the Administration allocated about $1.31 billion to its Feed the Future (FtF) initiative. Separately, in FY2010, about $1.84 billion was allocated to Title II activities under the Food for Peace program, $209.5 million for the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program, and $300 million from the International Disaster Assistance account at USAID for other emergency food assistance activities including safety net programs, cash vouchers, and local and regional procurement.
