- This strategy and tomorrow’s conference are only the beginning. The proposals made here will take time to implement and will require the support of state, local and tribal governments, nonprofits, private companies and everyday citizens. We need your help.
- Today we announced proposed regulations under the Packers and Stockyards Act to prohibit retaliatory practices that hurt farmers, ranchers, and consumers alike. These regulations will make markets fairer, bringing down costs for producers and consumers.

@SecVilsack
- At the first White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health since 1969, @POTUS has gathered private companies, nonprofit organizations, bipartisan members of Congress, and everyday citizens in service of common goals: end hunger, advance nutrition and improve health.
- Today is the second-ever White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. Today we start a new chapter, one that will bring an end to hunger, enhanced nutrition, and increased health for all Americans. Watch live https://youtu.be/gL_0Qd3A3Jg
- It was great to be back at @NASDAnews Annual Conference. I always appreciate being with state agriculture commissioners, and appreciate their thoughtful ideas on improving the lives of farmers, ranchers and producers.

The White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health: What it Means to Me
@SecVilsack
- The goals of today’s conference will take significant work to achieve. That work cannot only be done by the government. It will take local, state, and tribal governments, Congress, private companies, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens. #WHConfHungerHealth
- In convening this conference, @POTUS has given us a series of bold goals to achieve by 2030: To end hunger in America, increase healthy eating and improve physical activity so fewer Americans experience diet-related disease. #WHConfHungerHealth
- It was great be back with my friend @chefjoseandres, who has been doing great work globally to end hunger and improve nutrition. We were lucky to have him at the #WHConfHungerHealth to motivate us all to make a difference.
- Making progress to end hunger, improve the nation’s health, and enhance food security requires collective action from all of us. Together, we can- and will- achieve these goals. #WHConfHungerHealth.
@DrCaliff_FDA
- Today’s action is an important step toward accomplishing a number of nutrition-related priorities, which include empowering consumers with information to choose healthier diets and establishing healthy eating habits early. It can also result in a healthier food supply.
@USDA
- USDA Under Secretary Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young speaks with Dr. Maribel Campos-Rivera, Jimmieka Mills, Mia Ives-Rublee and Dr. Donald Warne on ensuring nutrition and food security research and policies account for all communities.
- We are wholly committed to this work and look forward to discussing these priorities in more detail at today’s @WhiteHouse Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health and in the weeks and months ahead.
@afdonews
- The Reagan-Udall Foundation has opened a Stakeholder Portal to collect perspectives and experiences with the FDA’s human foods program. Submit your comments about the program by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday, October 7, at http://ow.ly/ctZl50KV40F

@SecVilsack
- Food security is national security.
- To end hunger, enhance nutrition, and improve health for all Americans, we must work together and take bold actions. In fact, we already have. Yesterday, @POTUS announced more than $8 billion in private and public sector commitments to achieve these goals.
@FrankYiannasFDA
- Thanks @IntFreshProduce for the BIGGER conversation on produce safety & all that you & your members are doing to ensure consumers nationwide have access to safe & nutritious fresh produce items.
- This week, @DrMayneFDAFood & I participated in a Q&A session on further strengthening the safety of fresh fruits & vegetables @IntFreshProduce’s conference. I always prefer to have a discussion with & hear from stakeholders, as opposed to simply presenting to them.
- @US_FDA + @afdonews + @CDCgov + CFP + @NACCHOalerts + @nehaorg = the Retail Food Safety Regulatory Association Collaborative, a team working to reduce the incidence of foodborne illness, so that consumers nationwide can live better. #collaboration #smarterfoodsafety
