Utah Department of Agriculture and Food

Service Provider in Salt Lake City, Utah

Created in 1921, the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food is one of the State's oldest agencies. It oversees dozens of legislatively mandated programs that promote the healthy growth of Utah agriculture, the conservation of our natural resources and the protection of our food supply. Two important programs are the Utah Grazing Improvement Program and the Invasive Weeds Mitigation Program. Both work to improve the health of our rangelands and watersheds. In the area of food safety, the Department inspects the states 4,000 retail stores and the many food processing plants for food quality and safety and correct item pricing. The Departments Utahs Own Program works to reconnect consumers with their food supply and promotes the benefits of Utahs locally grown and processed foods which represent 14 percent of Utahs economy. The Department also protects animal health and the states $1 billion livestock industry, as well as guards against invasive insects.
