NASDA represents the united voice of departments of agriculture in all 50 states and the repertoires of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The commissioner, secretary, or director of each department is the designated representative to NASDA. Twelve of our members are statewide-elected officials, one achieved their position through career promotions in public service, all others are appointed by their governors.
NASDA members work to ensure all types of agriculture thrive and are co-regulators with the federal government on a host of responsibilities including environmental protection, food safety and more.
