Where’s the Beef? SIGINT for the Department of Agriculture

SUMMARY

The NSA supports the Department of Agriculture in trade negotiations and in efforts to keep the US food supply safe. Because few people at the USDA have TS/SCI clearance, providing SIGINT to them can present reporting challenges, which NSA staff have successfully addressed. Canada’s Communications Security Establishment regularly contributes valuable information on topics pertinent to the USDA as well.
