At the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, we engage state departments of agriculture to strengthen U.S. agriculture and allied industries through policy, partnerships and public outreach. As a unified voice representing all 50 states and four territories, NASDA is a leader and problem-solver for our nation's most pressing agricultural issues.

NASDA members champion U.S. farmers, ranchers and food producers by bridging the gap between the farm and policy, representing the interests of everyone in the food supply chain and opening doors to new markets. We look through the eyes of farmers and ranchers who work tirelessly to feed and nurture the world, advocating for policies that benefit all regions, people and environments.

Our work extends beyond agriculture, supporting community development, land preservation and more. Using state voices to influence federal policy and make a global impact, NASDA helps agriculture and food businesses of all sizes thrive, while ensuring people from every community have access to safe and affordable food, fiber and fuel.
