Conflict is a key instigator of severe food crises, including extreme hunger and famine. Globally, conflicts are increasing, sometimes worsened by climate-related incidents. Weather-related disaster events as a product of climate change have also impacted food availability in many countries and thus contributed to the rise of food insecurity.

From emergency relief and immediate food assistance to long-term agriculture training and school meals programs, they're helping people build resilience and overcome the ravages of hunger. Consistent with the mission of the United Nations World Food Programme, World Food Program USA works with U.S. policymakers, corporations, foundations and individuals to help provide financial resources and develop policies needed to alleviate global hunger.
