Global Food for Education Initiative
Encyclopedia
In the United States, the Global Food for Education Initiative (GFEI) was a pilot project, launched in FY2000, which used the donation of surplus agricultural commodities under Section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949
(P.L. 89-439, as amended) to support a global school feeding program.
The GFEI has been superseded by the McGovern-Dole International School Feeding and Child Nutrition Program (IFEP), established by the 2002 farm bill (P.L. 107-171, Sec. 3107). By decision of the President, the McGovern-Dole Program was to be administered by USDA.
