5.1.2: Ideas and Know-How
Harness the innovative ideas and know-how of the private and public sector as well as citizens to achieve our shared objectives
and improve the lives of Americans
Other Information:
USDA recognizes the need to improve and further develop methods for soliciting collaboration opportunities, and a systematic
approach for then managing those collaborative relationships. To accomplish this, The Department is seeking new partnerships
and leveraging existing relationships for collaboration. It is soliciting input on successes to serve as a model across the
Department. USDA is also broadening the use of collaboration and discussion tools to actively engage stakeholders and maintain
open lines of communication. Adopting a more proactive communications focus and framework will enable the Department to collaborate
more efficiently with the public and across government agencies. One example of how USDA is harnessing existing partnerships
to achieve shared objectives is The President’s Food Safety Working Group. This working group is a partnership between USDA
and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This partnership is designed to modernize food safety by building collaborative
partnerships with consumers, industry, and the Department’s regulatory partners. Learn, participate, and stay informed!
