Missions
FNS
Reduce hunger and food insecurity by ensuring better access to food, a
healthful diet, and nutrition education for children and needy families
DNPAO
Lead strategic public health efforts to prevent and control obesity, chronic
disease and other health conditions through physical activity and good
nutrition
FNS Priorities (my perception):
Address hunger and obesity in school lunch programs
End childhood hunger
Increase program participation and outreach
Streamline nutrition assistance program applications
Expand Summer Food Service Program
Collaboration Challenges
• Individual benefit vs. population approach
• Food Security and Ending Hunger vs. Obesity
• FNCS ‘authority’ and legislative language
(Waiting for Child Nutrition Reauthorization)
• SNAP-Ed interpretation
• SNAP-Ed reach to non-SNAP people
• SNAP use of Partnerships
• Making nutrition education and environmental and
policy changes complementary

MISSION:
Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food (KFY2) strengthens the critical connection
between farmers and consumers and supports local and regional food systems.
Through this initiative, USDA integrates and emphasizes programs and policies
that:

•
•
•
Stimulate food- and agriculturally-based community economic development;
Foster new opportunities for farmers and ranchers;
Promote locally and regionally produced and processed food;
Cultivate healthy eating habits and educated, empowered consumers;
Expand access to affordable fresh and local food; and
Demonstrate the connection between food, agriculture, community and the
environment.
KYF2 also leads a national conversation about food and agriculture to increase the
linkages between consumers and farmers.
Steward cross-agency initiatives to
better leverage USDA resources
I. Farm-to-school and school-to-farm
II. Local meat
III. Food distribution hubs
IV. Food deserts
V. USDA in-house operations
VI. Opportunities in agriculture
VII. Business structures
