• FDA’s food program reorg is a great first step, but it will require much more. Hope we see the establishment of transparent outcome metrics to help us gauge if real and meaningful progress is being made that results in better public health outcomes. https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2024/06/11/frank-yiannas-fda-s-reorganization-to-create-human-foods-program-is-only-a-first-step-to-enhanced-safety

@SecVilsack

• I was honored to give keynote remarks at the @IntFreshProduce’s #TWC2024. IFPA is the lynchpin of the farm-to-table industry, and your work to grow businesses in the fruit, produce, and floral sectors strengthens the work we do at @USDA to build a more resilient food system.
• Today, I announced how @USDA is taking our commitment to high-risk, high-reward, and transdisciplinary research a step further by unveiling a new Innovation Challenge in partnership with FFAR at @USDA’s Agrifood Innovation Symposium. The event elevated the conversation around how federal investments in agricultural research, development, and partnerships advance breakthroughs necessary for building a more nourishing, sustainable, and equitable agrifood system.

@SecVilsack

• @USDA is committed to reducing food loss and waste, facilitating many programs and activities to engage farmers, producers, communities, and businesses in this collective effort and charts a course to reduce our nation’s food loss and waste by 50% by 2030.
• I am encouraged by the actions outlined for USDA and our federal partners. Everyone has a role to play in reducing food loss and waste, and I hope that these federal commitments will inspire and catalyze action in the private sector and communities around the U.S.
