WHY USDA ?

When we face disasters – natural or manmade – of all sorts, the people suffering the displacement or ruin of their homes and livelihoods may put out a call for expert help. The USDA organizes itself to provide immediate help in situations which may arise unexpectedly as dire emergencies or as calls for expert assistance to execute plans to improve human living standards.

Founded in 1862, the USDA has provided information and reference materials in a broad range of subjects, including the ones listed below. The website at www.USDA.gov is the portal through which we can enter into this library… a great deal of which is available just for the asking.
