State Department of Agriculture of Florida
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services supports and promotes Florida agriculture, protects the environment, safeguards consumers, and ensures the safety and wholesomeness of food. Our programs and activities are so varied and extensive, they touch the life of just about every Floridian.
They protect Florida’s livestock, honey bees and crop plants from pests and diseases.
They promote Florida’s 300 agricultural commodities across America and around the world.
They assist Florida’s schools in serving more than a million healthful meals each day, providing our students with the sustenance they need to succeed.
The state does have a ‘Made in Florida’ program in certain retailers such as Publix and Winn Dixie.
