Education and Awareness
Activities
USDA engages in a wide variety of education
and awareness activities aimed at increasing
public knowledge about nutrition, food safety,
and community food security. Public education
activities have been an intrinsic function
of the department since its founding by Abraham
Lincoln in 1862. In reference to community
food security, these activities help give
Americans the tools to make wise choices—and
take appropriate actions—to improve
the nutrition levels of their diets, the
safety of their food, and the structures
in their community to combat hunger.
