American Farmers Feed the World Act of 2023
This bill renames the Food for Peace program after Peter O'Brien and makes key changes to how U.S. agricultural commodities are provided for international food aid. It prohibits using cash, vouchers, or food bought outside the U.S. for aid, limits non-commodity expenses to 50% of annual funds, and requires detailed annual reports on fund usage and program waivers. These changes directly affect U.S. agricultural exports and international food assistance programs administered by the U.S. government. The bill focuses on directing aid through U.S.-produced commodities while increasing transparency in how funds are spent.
