Feed the Future is the U.S. government’s global hunger and food security initiative which addresses the root causes of poverty and hunger through providing agricultural knowledge and tools for people to feed themselves. In Uganda, Feed the Future works in 38 districts to make agriculture more productive and profitable, reaching a total population of 14 million people.
