USDA Energy Matrix

USDA has many programs that help farmers, other rural residents, and the nation respond to energy-related issues and opportunities. These range from basic scientific research to the development and commercialization of new technologies. They include outreach and education, technical assistance programs, financial support for infrastructure, and the adoption of energy-saving products by USDA itself. From more efficient farming techniques, wind farms, and ethanol plants to biochemical and genomics research, USDA is deeply involved in the nation’s quest for energy security. The Matrix: A Navigational Aide. USDA’s energy related programs are thus varied, large in scope, and spread among many USDA agencies and mission areas. To help you navigate the maze, USDA has developed a web site matrix which allows you to search by agency, technology type, and program.
