https:/crsreports.congress.gov Updated September 14, 2016U.S. International Food Aid ProgramsFor over six decades, the United States has played a leading role in global efforts to alleviate hunger and malnutrition and to enhance world food security through international food aidprimarily through either the donation or sale on concessional terms of U.S. agricultural commodities. The U.S. government has provided international food aid through a variety of programs (Table 1 and Figure 1) and for a variety of reasons that have evolved with foreign policy goals over the years. Current objectives include both emergency response to international food crises and non-emergency agricultural development assistance. U.S. international food aid outlays have increased gradually since the 1950s in current year dollars (Figure 1) but have declined in inflation-adjusted 2013 dollars (Figure 2). Figure 1.
