GA Department of Agriculture
The Georgia Department of Agriculture, established in 1874, is the oldest state department of agriculture in the United States, dedicated to supporting local farmers and producers while ensuring consumer protection and food safety. Under the leadership of Commissioner Tyler J Harper, a seventh-generation farmer, the department regulates various sectors including animals, food, fuel, plants, soil, and pesticides throughout Georgia.
Focused on marketing Georgia-grown agricultural products both nationally and globally, the department also oversees significant programs such as the GATE program and licensing for hemp-related activities. Additionally, it addresses industry challenges, including food recalls and mental health awareness initiatives for agricultural professionals.
