America's History & Leadership in Humanitarian Aid: How the United States Provides Food Relief
Learn more about America's Legacy and Leadership in Global Food Relief: www.wfpusa.org/articles/americas-legacy-leadership-fighting-global-hunger/
The United States of America has a long history of fighting global hunger and continues to lead those efforts today. The U.S. has long known that humanitarian assistance is economically smart and a vital component of national security.
America’s First Shipments of Food Assistance
In 1812, a devasting earthquake hit Venezuela. The quake left thousands of people in urgent need of food and supplies. In response, the U.S. sent five ships carrying $50,000 dollars-worth of wheat flour to feed survivors.
America’s second major humanitarian response was in 1845 when the Irish Potato Famine hit. The U.S. government provided two ships and loaded them with food from the U.S. nonprofit Catholic Charities to send to the people of Ireland.
During this early period, the food aid the U.S. sent was small and intended to meet people’s immediate needs.
The United States Scales Global Food Aid After World War I
During World War I, the threat of famine began to loom as food remained scarce. Under Hoover’s leadership, the U.S. established the Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB) which provided food assistance to 10 million Belgians and French people.
The United States Leads Global Hunger Relief After World War II
In the aftermath of World War II, millions of people around the world were starving.
President Harry Truman was integral in rallying American relief efforts to address Europe’s food security crisis. The U.S. began providing food and supplies under the new United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), an organization created to help survivors recover from the war.
However, it was evident that UNRRA’s relief efforts were not enough to alleviate Europe’s food insecurity. President Truman signed the Economic Recovery Act of 1948 to provide economic assistance to 16 European countries. The Act, which became known as the Marshall Plan, provided the equivalent of $100 billion dollars for European reconstruction - much of it being food and agricultural assistance. The Marshall Plan laid the foundation for how aid can assist communities abroad while advancing U.S. national security interests.
America’s First Long-Term Hunger-Fighting Program
In 1954, the Eisenhower administration passed a series of policies that included granting U.S. grown commodities as humanitarian aid, known as the Food for Peace Act. This program took food grown in the U.S. and delivered it abroad to people in need.
The United States Helps Creates the U.N. World Food Programme
In 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower addressed the UN General Assembly proposed to the U.N. General Assembly that a “workable scheme should be devised for providing food aid through the U.N. system.”
On November 24, the U.N. General Assembly officially established the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).
The U.N. World Food Programme’s First Humanitarian Mission
The U.N. World Food Programme’s first mission was in response to an earthquake that hit Iran in 1962 and killed over 12,000 people. The U.N. World Food Programme provided survivors with wheat, sugar and tea.
By 1965, the U.N. World Food Programme proved to be successful and became an official U.N. agency. Over the next few decades, it launched dozens of missions in response to disasters all over the world, including Ethiopia, Honduras, Rwanda, Sudan and Cambodia.
American Leadership of the U.N. World Food Programme
The U.N. World Food Programme has had many leaders since its inception in 1961. In 1992, Catherine Bertini was the first American to serve as Executive Director of the global organization. Since then, the U.N. World Food Programme has been led by an American without interruption, continuing up to Cindy McCain today.
The U.S. has also continued to be the largest government donor to the U.N. World Food Programme through programs like Food for Peace and USAID.
The United States Expands Its School Meals Program for Children Worldwide
In the late 1990s, Senators George McGovern and Bob Dole worked together again to apply lessons from their national school lunch program to the world’s poorest classrooms - ensuring kids everywhere have access to a nourishing meal. Thanks to their efforts, the aptly named McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program was established in 2002.

"There Is No Scarcity If we throw a bag of grain into the street, pigeons may come and eat four or five small grains and then go away. They will not take more than they can eat, and having eaten they go freely on their way. But if we were to put many bags of flour on the sidewalk and invite people to come and get them, one man would take ten or twenty bags and another would take fifteen or thirty bags and so on. But those who do not have the means to carry so much away will not be able to take more than a bag or two. Thus the distribution will be uneven. This is called advancement of civilization; we are even lacking in the knowledge which the pigeons, dogs, and cats have. Everything belongs to the Supreme Lord, and we can accept whatever we need, but not more. That is knowledge. By the Lord's arrangement the world is so made that there is no scarcity of anything. Everything is sufficient, provided that we know how to distribute it. However, the deplorable condition today is that one is taking more than he needs while another is starving."
You didnt mention how the amount of grain used to feed animal's for food is a contibutary factor Why is this?
In most of the images I see no sky because it's filled with chomokills hence the food insecurity. It's not rocket science when you interfere with the 🌞🔆🌅 and play GOD it will fail. But the 🌎🌍🌏 was given into the hands of the wicked. Globalist, greed, industrial revolution, pseudo science, Caucasian supremacy has destroyed humanity. So now that they have the gold, silver, diamonds how can they spend it in a world they destroyed. The Bible calls them children of fools yea base men, viler then the earth. Roughly paraphrasing 🤦🏾♀️
Unreliable reporting. How about America's role in global hunger??
Then why is the Climate Cult pushing for the production of biofuels from FOOD? Nothing more than Climate Cult fear mongering BS.

My students loved this video! :)
Video content is very good also your video thumbnail is attractive but the problem is that your video has no views, no likes, no comments the main reason is that your video keyword section is not uploaded perfectly
I think we cultivate a protein rich plant which is use as major food crop. Just like protein rich rice plant. Ask me it is posible.....??
Having kids you can't afford.
Ayudar a la humanidad es tan simple como acabar con las guerras entre naciones. Tan fácil como utilizar los grandes tanques d3 guerra para transportar alimentos a zonas de difícil acceso y llevar alimentos a poblaciónes necesitadas. Y así luchar y pelear contra el hambre en el mundo.
There people wanting to end world hunger but i cant lol: I eat chips at 3 am and eat milk with cereal and some 🥦 in dinner and rice and bean. Please don't fight with me I don't eat any type of meat I'm not a vegan because I drink milk if I haven't drink milk I would be an vegan
Its Because Of Boycotting!
Climate change,lol. Now I know your mentality. And are you feeding hungry children in America? Do ALL children get fed?
We are all doomed to suffer and die what kind of Loving God allows that to happen.
what does that have to do with anything abt this? 😭 they re fucking dying of hunger bc of wars, poverty, and conflicts 💀
How about making and distributing food problems through artificial food or cells!
What causes hunger? Sending dollars instead if corn! For a hundred years america sends dollars. The leaders dont want corn. You can only eat corn!
sounds kind of lazy "move it closer to where people live" thats like God saying let me move the river closer to the people so its easier to hunt that doesnt happen its unnatural sounds like people need to hunt but their too lazy to leave their comfort zones

2:45 USA gains thunger? Please excuse me for doing that! I'm trying to prove a point as week as it may be. However, as I type this in it is Easter morning and all my dreams of bringing something to the breakfast at church have vanished because of uncertainty. What was I thinking I am prepared for, anyway? Well, I did have some leftover homemade cinnamon bread in the freezer and I thought if I laid it out in a pan and put cinnamon honey cashew butter all over it I could pawn it off as coffee cake. Of course it's really mouth watering delicious. There's absolutely no doubt about that. It's just here isn't enough. And thus the doubt of what I would be getting myself into. You see I don't have an intricate part in my the local church. I have my little issues over receiving communion and my Deacon friend would much rather see my conformity than anything else. What is all this got to do with world hunger... the hundreds of Millions? I'm used to holding on to what I've got and I just keep collecting more junk. It wasn't junk one day when I got it. The problem is collectively I have too many things that I don't use. I have too much talent measured by compassion that I don't do anything with. We all see food thrown away. For example, Dunkin' Donuts won't give there donuts to charity that they didn't sell. I might let some grapes or bananas go bad.... I don't know. Some seed is planted today in my heart to try and do something more than I have. I grew up having to finish things on the plate I didn't want or couldn't stand while being fed the line. Children are starving in China. Well, I found out that China is communist and that would be bad for America if they were to blah blah blah. Brainwash Babel. We all have excuses not to care right now. I have found a reason to make sure that I care right now. Thanks for reading this!
You can see what Trump has done promoting orange greed. He and his buddies have created their most offensive assault on democracy known today.

I wish to improve against this trend of this interest.
