Resilience

Feed the Future strengthens resilience to help families, communities and countries manage risk as well as adapt and respond to shocks and stresses without compromising their food security, nutrition, livelihoods and well-being. Feed the Future emphasizes support for marginalized and underrepresented groups like poor households, indigenous peoples, women, youth, persons with disabilities and those affected by migration and displacement. We invest in people and systems at all levels to strengthen resilience and propel transformative, sustainable change.
