About
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is an executive department of the United States federal government responsible for commercial farming and livestock food production, agricultural trade and production, food safety, natural resource protection, rural community support, and hunger prevention both domestically and internationally. It is led by the secretary of agriculture, a Cabinet member reporting to the president. The USDA's budget primarily funds the Food and Nutrition Service, with programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. It also includes the United States Forest Service, which manages national forests and grasslands.

A company page draws on the SAFxCHANGE record: the agreement table (2013 to late 2023), the plants table (December 2023) and what the reader has found in the news since, marked unverified until checked. The categories follow the SAFxCHANGE value-chain map; they were assigned from the company's role in the deals and plants and from what is written about it, and a company can fill more than one. Names are matched by their words, so a company recorded under two very different names may show on two pages.
