Sens. Moran, Casey, Boozman, Baldwin urge Secretaries Perdue, Pompeo to support global food programs during COVID-19 (various news releases) 

April 21, 2020


News Release from various senators including Senator Moran (Virginia) discuss the importance of funding global food programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The news release quotes IFPRI researchers, “estimating that this economic slowdown could force another 20 to 30 million people into extreme poverty. In the case of major disruptions to global trade, food export from sub-Saharan Africa may fall by as much as 25 percent, threatening agricultural livelihoods.” (See the blog post, How much will global poverty increase because of COVID-19?).
