🔗 ASN Written Comments on USDA Reorganization Plan: nutrition.org/public-affai...

The 30-day public comment period is open through August 31. ASN members are encouraged to share their input and concerns as well: www.usda.gov/about-usda/n...

ASN has grave concerns that the ability of USDA to continue many functions without interruption will be challenged throughout reorganization. More funds are desperately needed for USDA’s nutrition programs, research, & career development/training, not for relocation expenses.

ASN provided input on the proposed USDA reorganization plans: www.usda.gov/about-usda/n...
