The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) plays a crucial role in shaping the food supply through its policies on agricultural production, food safety, and nutritional standards. By providing financial assistance, research, and resources to farmers, the USDA helps enhance productivity and sustainability in food production. Additionally, the USDA regulates food safety standards and inspects food products, ensuring that the food supply is safe and nutritious for consumers. Through these actions, the USDA helps stabilize and influence the availability and quality of food in the market.
