§1736dd International Food Security Technical Assistance

Summary

The Secretary of Agriculture must gather information from USDA mission areas (including Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services) about how to improve international food security. International food security means people can get enough food and good nutrition any time to be healthy and productive. The Secretary must organize and share that information for public education and for use by U.S. federal, state, and local agencies, foreign governments, domestic or international organizations (including NGOs), and intergovernmental organizations. On request, the Secretary may give technical help to those groups. Priority must go to building food and nutrition safety-net systems in food-insecure countries. Up to $1,000,000 is authorized for each fiscal year 2019 through 2023.
