200 years ago up to 95% of the world's population lived in extreme poverty. That number is less than 9% today. Despite the progress made, former @WFP chief @dbeasley1 argues “we're now going backwards” & are not making enough progress in helping to reach the final 9% in need.

Istanbul is one of the great cities of the world. Straddles two continents - Europe and Asia, home to the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Bosphorus Canal and its history, culture commercie transcend time. And, I sure do love the food!

Pope Francis cared for “the least of these”. We met several times over the years while I was Ex Dir of WFP in Rome. He always wanted to know what he could do to help the hungry and bring peace to the world. He is resting now with the Almighty. Thank you, Pope Francis.

Former SC Governor and head of the UN World Food Program, @dbeasley1, tells USGLC's @LizSchrayer, “Food is the pathway to peace... the lack of food is the pathway to war... If you're not going to [provide international food assistance] out of the kindness of your heart, then you'd better do it out of your national security interest and your financial interest." #SaferStronger🇺🇸

"Food security brings everyone together…the D’s & the R’s lay down their differences…[b/c] the American people, the people of the world…understand that we're facing a global food crisis." - Past head of @WFP @dbeasley1 on why solving hunger is a moral & strategic imperative.

Today marks the 70th anniversary of @USAID’s Food for Peace and its impact in feeding the world and reducing global hunger. Hear from @DBeasley1 at #GIF2024 on how U.S. food leadership protects “the stability and security of not just the United States but all over the world.”

Ending hunger for tens of millions and earning a Nobel Peace Prize with the @WFP for doing it is no small achievement. Thank you Governor @dbeasley1 for sharing your journey with us at the @Indiana_EDC and @gener8tor Ag Conference.

“There's nothing more fulfilling than helping the poorest of the poor…And so that's why 70 years of celebration is so appropriate today because …[it protects] the stability and security of not just the United States but all over the world.” -@Dbeasley1 on food assistance. #GIF2024

@RepStenyHoyer @USGLC @EspositoUSAID @DanRGlickman Steny, it was great being with you. Thank you for all you do.

Proud to join @USGLC to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Food for Peace. As we find ourselves amid a global struggle between democracy and despotism, know this struggle is directly tied to global food security. We must always seek democracy, peace, and freedom.
