Extractions: Spending: Discretionary Budget Authority Mandatory Outlays: Existing law Credit Activity: Direct loan disbursements Guaranteed loans Tax Expenditures: Existing law Through the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Federal Government seeks to enhance the quality of life for the American people by supporting agricultural production; ensuring a safe, affordable, nutritious, and accessible food supply; conserving agricultural, forest, and range lands; supporting sound development of rural communities; providing economic opportunities for farm and rural residents; expanding global markets for agricultural and forest products and services; and working to reduce hunger in America and throughout the world. (Many of these missions fall within other budget functions and are described in other chapters in this section.) The Federal Government helps to increase U.S. agricultural income by boosting productivity, ensuring that markets function fairly, and providing a safety net for farmers and ranchers who face financial risk and natural disasters. Farming and ranching are risky. Federal programs are designed to accomplish two key economic goals: (1) provide an economic safety net for farmers and ranchers; and (2) open, expand, and maintain global market opportunities for agricultural producers. USDA programs disseminate economic and agronomic information, and help farmers finance their operations and manage risks from both weather and variable export conditions. Agriculture, food, and its related activities account for 15 percent of total annual U.S. personal consumption expenditures.
