United States Department of Agriculture One of the largest Departments in the Federal Government, the USDA provides leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, and related issues based on sound public policy, the best available science, and efficient management. USDA's current strategic plan contains six strategic goals: (1) Enhance International Competitiveness of American Agriculture, (2) Enhance the Competitiveness and Sustainability of Rural Farm Economics, (3) Support Increased Economic Opportunities and Improved Quality of Life in Rural America, (4) Enhance Protection and Safety of the Nation's Agriculture and Food Supply, (5) Improve the Nation's Health and Nutrition, and (6) Protect and Enhance the Nation's Natural Resource Base and Environment. USDA's in-depth reviews of goals, objectives and performance measures by agency and program are testimony to its commitment to the President's management initiatives.
USDA has had a long interest in a better, results-oriented government. The USDA GEIG workgroup of agencies - with members from Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), and Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA), and the USDA Office of Administration - is collaborating to co-sponsor the meetings by providing access to meeting room facilities in the USDA Building at 1400 Independence Avenue, SW.
