Agency: Agriculture

Function

The mission of the Department of Agriculture and Food (DAF) is to: "Promote the healthy growth of Utah agriculture, conserve our natural resources and protect our food supply." Currently, DAF's focus is in the following four areas:

  • Improve communication and awareness;
  • Conserve and enhance Utah's lands and natural resources;
  • Ensure food safety and consumer protection;
  • Build partnerships, advocates and develop Agriculture leaders.

DAF is responsible for the administration of Utah's agricultural laws as outlined in Titles 3 and 4 of the Utah Code (click on the link http://ag.utah.gov/divisions/index.html to go to the website). The laws mandate a wide variety of activities including inspection, regulation, information, rulemaking, loan issuance, marketing and development, pest and disease control, improving the economic position of agriculture, and consumer protection.

Though not a part of DAF, the Utah State Fair Corporation has been included as a line item in DAF's budget since FY 2003.

The department also manages two loan funds:

  • Agricultural Resource Development Loan (ARDL) Fund
  • Rural Rehabilitation Loan Fund
