有betty的地方就有答疑~http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201206/201206221102085943544.mp3The United States is deeply committed to ensuring that food is available, affordable and nutritious. Together with international partners, the United States has launched an unprecedented effort over the past three years to reverse a decades-long decline in agricultural investments. Our goal is to alleviate the chronic hunger that afflicts nearly one billion people around the world, including an estimated 53 million in Latin America and the Caribbean.
In July 2009, at the G-8 Summit in L'Aquila, Italy, global leaders, including President Barack Obama, called for increased investment in agriculture, nutrition and rural development in developing countries as a proven lever for combating food insecurity and as an engine for broad-based economic growth, prosperity and stability. This commitment laid the foundation for Feed the Future, the U.S. government's global hunger and food security initiative.
In the Americas, Feed the Future invests in rural areas of three focus countries: Guatemala, Honduras and Haiti. Over five years, investments and programs involving the entire agricultural value chain from seeds to farms to markets will assist 1 million vulnerable women, children and family members, mostly smallholder farmers, to escape hunger and poverty in these countries.美国始终致力于提供充足的食品源，让食品营养丰富，价格亲民。在过去的3年里，美国与国际间紧密合作，发起了前所未有的运动以扭转农业投资持续十年下滑的困境。“我们的目标是解决涉及全球近十亿人民的饥荒，其中有五千三百成居住在拉丁美洲和加勒比地区。”
2009年7月在意大利阿奎拉举办的八国峰会，包括美国总统奥巴马在内的许多国家领导人号召增加对农业、食品营养、和发展中国家郊区建设的投资，以来解决食品安全问题，促进全球经济增长，国家繁荣稳定。这项呼吁也为美国政府为抗击全球饥饿与食品安全问题提出的“哺育下一代”倡议奠定了基础。
“哺育下一代”倡议在美洲范围内主要将重点放在危地马拉、洪都拉斯和海地这三个国家。近五年来，囊括播种到销售整条农业链的投资和项目援助了一百万来自这些国家的受灾妇女儿童和其它家庭成员，以及绝大部分的小农户，帮助他们摆脱饥饿与贫穷。
