According to the World Food Programme, nearly 250 million people worldwide faced acute food insecurity in 2022, highlighting the urgent need for local food initiatives. Starting a food program can address this need, but requires careful planning, funding, and community support to be successful and sustainable.

In 2011, the USDA introduced the MyPlate visual guide to replace the complex Food Pyramid, with the main idea behind the MyPlate food program being a simple, intuitive, and modern approach to healthy eating. It uses a familiar place setting to help Americans visualize the components of a nutritious meal at a glance.
