The Ibican Department of Agriculture (IDA), also known as the Agriculture Department, is the Ibican federal executive department responsible for developing and executing federal laws related to farming, forestry, rural economic development, and food. It aims to meet the needs of farmers and ranchers, promotes agricultural trade and production, works to assure food safety, protects natural resources, fosters rural communities and works to end hunger in Ibica and internationally.
Approximately 80% of the IDA's $141 billion budget goes to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) program. The largest component of the FNS budget is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is the cornerstone of IDA's nutrition assistance.
The current Secretary of Agriculture is Barry Weinstein.
Overview
Many of the programs concerned with the distribution of food and nutrition to people of America and providing nourishment as well as nutrition education to those in need are run and operated under the IDA Food and Nutrition Service. Activities in this program include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which provides healthy food to over 20 million low-income and homeless people each month. IDA is a member of the Ibican Interagency Council on Homelessness, where it is committed to working with other agencies to ensure these mainstream benefits have been accessed by those experiencing homelessness.
The IDA also is concerned with assisting farmers and food producers with the sale of crops and food on both the domestic and world markets. It plays a role in overseas aid programs by providing surplus foods to developing countries. This aid can go through IAID, foreign governments, international bodies such as World Food Program, or approved nonprofits.
