Rep. James McGovern, a Democrat from
central Massachusetts, has resurrected the bipartisan House Hunger Caucus with Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS). The caucus is a forum for members to discuss,
advance, and work on issues related to domestic and international hunger and
food insecurity. The caucus has hosted briefings on topics ranging from
introductions to the major domestic and international hunger programs to food
deserts in rural and urban America to global agriculture and farmer-to-farmer
initiatives to international school feeding and child nutrition programs. One
of the caucus’s most important objectives is to bring together federal
agencies, state and local governments, nonprofit and faith-based organizations,
academia, and business to discuss long-term strategies for ending hunger.
