Agricultural Marketing Service
The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is a division of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). AMS provides programs that create domestic and international marketing opportunities for U.S. producers of food, fiber, and specialty crops. The agency also provides the agriculture industry with valuable services to ensure the quality and availability of wholesome food for consumers across the country.
Sustainability
AMS is committed to promoting sustainable agricultural practices. The agency supports organic certification, which helps farmers and processors develop and market organic products. Additionally, AMS administers the National Organic Program (NOP), which ensures the integrity of organic products in the United States and around the world. However, detailed information on AMS's overall sustainability initiatives, carbon footprint, and ESG reports is limited.
