The WFP’s programs are aimed at helping the nearly 11 percent of the world’s population that does not have enough to eat.

It helps people affected by wars and other conflicts, epidemics and pandemics, crop failures, and disasters such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, and storms. In addition to distributing food aid in emergencies, the WFP provides food assistance to meet longer-term needs.
The WFP focuses particularly on assisting vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant and nursing women, and the elderly. To stimulate their economies, the WFP purchases more goods and services from developing countries than any other UN agency."
The organization works to achieve the second of the united nation 17 Sustainable Development Goals with a priority on achieving "Zero Hunger" by 2030.
