Agriculture Fact Book 2000

Abstract

Inside the Agriculture Fact Book, you will learn about the breadth of our mandate–about our stewardship of 192 million acres of national forest land; about our efforts to fight hunger at home and abroad; about our support for land-grant colleges and universities; about our battles against bugs, pests, and diseases that threaten American agriculture and ecosystems. You will learn more about programs that are already household names, like the Food Stamp Program. And, you can also get information about efforts like the Farmland Protection Program and our regulation of biotechnology products.
