USAID – July 16, 2010
A new research strategy and partnership for Feed the Future, a federal initiative that addresses global hunger and food security, will establish the Norman Borlaug Commemorative Research Initiative between the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Outlined by Secretary Hillary Clinton, Secretary Tom Vilsack and USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah, the Borlaug Initiative will utilize the USDA’s research agencies, increasing the agency’s relevance and impact on addressing problems and opportunities faced by both U.S. farmers and small farmers in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
