Compendium of Budget Information for the 2009 General Session

Natural Resources
Appropriations Subcommittee

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. 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 (for details, see pages 10-38 and 10-39):

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