New USDA Initiative Has Two-Fold Mission

“Know Your Farmer Know Your Food” is a new USDA initiative to help more Americans understand where their food comes from and how they can support local food economies in their communities.

Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan put together a team of dedicated professionals to represent the ‘Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food’ initiative. This is a USDA-wide effort and emphasizes the need for a fundamental reconnection between producers and consumers.
