Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity

  • AGR-4.4: In 2015 the House Appropriations Committee wrote that the advisory committee's report "included extraneous factors and policy recommendations that are outside of the statutory requirement, such as agriculture production practices including sustainability, taxes, food labeling and marketing policies." Public Law 114-113 section 734 then barred release of the 2015-2020 guidelines unless each guideline "is based on significant scientific agreement" and "is limited in scope to nutritional and dietary information." On 6 October 2015 Secretaries Vilsack and Burwell announced that sustainability would not be in the guidelines "because this is a matter of scope."
