Feed the Future Enabling Environment for Food Security

The Feed the Future Enabling Environment for Food Security program is USAID's leading global technical assistance mechanism for addressing legal, institutional, and market constraints affecting food security. The program helps USAID Missions create more favorable legal and regulatory conditions to spur commercial and government investment in agriculture. Using state-of-the-art tools and evidence, the program helps USAID identify cost-effective and transformative opportunities to strengthen the agricultural enabling environment–a critical pillar for achieving the long-term inclusive and sustainable market development needed to accomplish the US government's Global Food Security Strategy. You can learn more on our AgriLinks project page or read our two-page project overview. A full resource library is coming soon.
