Government LinksThe Agriculture NetworkThe Agriculture Network Information Center is a voluntary partnership bringing you selected, quality agricultural information. The AgNIC (Agriculture Network Information Center) Alliance began in 1995 with land-grant institutions committed to a partnership. This vision continues to sustain a collaborative alliance. This collaboration is between libraries and Cooperative Extension; between libraries and academic departments within colleges; between states who unite around a common agricultural theme or sub-discipline; between technologists and librarians who are committed to using technology to knit disparate information resources into a cohesive whole. The results of these partnerships are rich collections of essential information and services offered to users around the globe. The collaboration and contributions of the partners allow the institutions to meet local, national, and international needs in a cost-effective manner. Food Safety and Inspection Service The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is the public health agency in the U.S. Department of Agriculture responsible for ensuring that the nation's commercial supply of meat, poultry, and egg products is safe, wholesome, and correctly labeled and packaged, as required by the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection Act.

CDC Food Safety Many people do not think about food safety until a food-related illness affects them or a family member. While the food supply in the United States is one of the safest in the world, CDC estimates that 76 million people get sick, more than 300,000 are hospitalized, and 5,000 Americans die each year from foodborne illness. Preventing foodborne illness and death remains a major public health challenge.
