Plain-English Summary

The bill would move the U.S. government's food aid programs from the State Department's international development agency to the Department of Agriculture, giving the USDA control over how American food donations are distributed to hungry people overseas. This shift would consolidate food assistance programs under one department rather than splitting them between two agencies, potentially streamlining how decisions are made about which countries receive aid and what types of food are sent. The change would affect how international food aid is managed but wouldn't change the amount of aid provided or which countries are eligible to receive it.
