PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) launched Farmers for Prosperity to bring together agricultural leaders dedicated to leveraging American resources to tackle global hunger and expand American export markets. As food insecurity escalates due to growing global crises, American farmers and agri-businesses can help feed the world, while protecting our national security and making America more prosperous.
Cultivating Global Impact
TACKLING GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY
For decades, the U.S. has been at the forefront of addressing global hunger. Yet, 733 million people worldwide go to bed hungry each night. Hunger stifles economic growth, stunts child development, and perpetuates generational cycles of inequality. By supporting international food assistance and fostering global partnerships, American agriculture can change this trajectory.
PROTECTING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
Hunger and conflict are deeply connected, creating a dangerous cycle that fuels migration and provides opportunities for extremist groups to expand. Threats like climate change, crop disease, and water scarcity don’t respect borders and threaten our national security. By investing in domestic and international agriculture, we are preparing for future challenges, building resilience, and strengthening both U.S. prosperity and national security.
ENSURING OUR ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
With 95% of the world’s consumers living outside the U.S., American agriculture depends on international markets. In 2023, U.S. exports of farm and food products totaled $174 billion. Growing these consumer markets through international development and strengthening these trade relationships help grow our agricultural sector and overall economic prosperity.
