The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is a federal agency responsible for overseeing agriculture, forestry, rural economic development, and food safety in the United States. Established in 1862 by President Abraham Lincoln, the USDA plays a critical role in implementing policies related to farming, food production, and nutrition. The agency generates revenue through various programs, including agricultural subsidies, food assistance programs, and rural development initiatives. Key historical milestones include the establishment of the National Forest Service in 1905 and the implementation of the Food Stamp Program in 1964, which has evolved into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
