Revise USDA Mission Statement

Department of Agriculture / Office of the Secretary

Revise USDA's mission statement to focus primarily on agriculture and remove references to climate change and equity. New mission should emphasize developing/disseminating agricultural information, addressing food safety threats, removing trade barriers, and reducing government intervention.

"A proper mission would clarify that the department's primary focus is on agriculture and that the USDA serves all Americans. The USDA's 'client' is the American people in general, not a subset of interests, such as farmers, meatpackers, environmental groups, etc." – Project 2025

Would significantly shift USDA's focus away from climate/equity initiatives but maintains core agricultural functions
