Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the U.S. is committing $10 billion to improve food systems in the U.S. and across the globe as part of the United Nation’s Food Systems Summit.
The funds will be split equally between domestic and international efforts.
“On a more inclusive food system focused on providing assistance and help to our most vulnerable citizens—women in agriculture and underserved producers,” he explains.
Vilsack also lists supporting greater resiliency in local and regional supply chains as a major investment area along with supporting school nutrition.
