The U.S. Government's Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) presents an integrated whole-of-government strategy as required by the Global Food Security Act of 2016. (GFSA). The strategy reflects the unique skills, resources, and lessons learned from U.S. federal departments and agencies that contribute to global food security, as well as input form partners throughout the private sector, academic institutions and civil society.  It charts a course for the U.S. Government to contribute to the achievement of global food security and the range of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), together with partners across the globe.

Sound, evidence-based programming at the regional, country, and community level is needed to realize the ambitious but achievable strategic goals of the GFSS.  This Global Learning and Evidence Exchange will allow us to dive a little deeper to surface the tried and true best practices along with innovative new ways of partnering and doing business through market systems approaches to agriculture-led economic growth, increased resilience and improved nutrition.
