Ag Community Looks At Feeding The World Now, And Into The Future

World Food Program Executive Director, David Beasley, said when it comes to feeding the world's  population in 2021, he believes with issues such as conflict, climate change, and COVID-19, the farm community is facing an unprecedented crisis for the year head.

"2021 is going to be make or break for a lot of people around the world. And so we've got to come together, get through this year. As I've told many leaders around the world you're not going to have enough money to fund every humanitarian emergency need, you're gonna have to prioritize in 2021."

Yet, Beasley also notes the importance of our nation's involvement in providing food and civic security through food aid programs; now, and going forward.

"The United States agricultural community and the American taxpayer has done more to avert famine destabilization and mass migration."
