USDA Agriculture Innovation Agenda is a department-wide initiative to align resources, programs, and research to position American agriculture to better meet future global demands. Specifically, the USDA will stimulate innovation so that American agriculture can achieve the goal of increasing production by 40% while cutting the environmental footprint of U.S. agriculture in half by 2050.
Components of the agenda include: developing a U.S. ag-innovation strategy that aligns and synchronizes public and private sector research; aligning the work of our customer-facing agencies and integrating innovative technologies and practices into USDA programs; conducting a review of USDA productivity and conservation data.
