2011 progress report on U.S. leadership in global agricultural development

The report documents the degree to which the Administration and Congress have made progress in achieving the changes in U.S. government policy that were recommended in The Chicago Council's 2009 report Renewing American Leadership in the Fight Against Global Hunger and Poverty. It is the first of several annual reports intended to monitor the pursuit of long-term national goals, whose results will be seen in the future stability and prosperity of today's food-security hot spots. The Progress Report shows that the U.S. is indeed exerting stronger leadership in global agricultural development, with positive changes since 2008 in the directions recommended by The Chicago Council.
