U.S. Department of Agriculture

The USDA provides leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, rural development, nutrition, and related issues based on public policy, the best available science, and effective management.

With 29 agencies and offices and more than 4,500 locations across the country and abroad, the department has a vision to provide economic opportunity through innovation, helping rural America to thrive; to promote agriculture production that better nourishes Americans while also helping feed others throughout the world; and to preserve the nation’s natural resources through conservation, restored forests, improved watersheds, and healthy private working lands.

Its strategic goals serve as a roadmap for the department to help ensure it achieves its mission and implement its vision.
