Benefits of Membership

1.  Join a collective voice affecting public policy from the only organization devoted entirely to the interests of USDA foods.

We work to strengthen, identify, monitor and address issues that impact USDA food distribution programs.

2. Gain professional representation before Congress and other interested parties.

Our Agricultural Commodity Markets aim to reduce the opposition of views on the impact of agricultural trade on food security.

3. Get access to the Association’s membership directory, helping you skip the line and make the right connections with USDA staff.

ACDA members gain access to industry leaders, networking and educational opportunities. For current members, login to access the membership directory.

4. Access discounts for the Annual Conference, empowering you to make a bigger difference in your community.

Our mission is to educate and empower our communities by providing resources for School Foodservice Authorities (SFAs), cooperatives, food banks, pantries, soup kitchens and other community agencies.

We strive for excellence and transparency in agricultural trade by providing helpful resources and clarity on a range of topics. Members also gain access to a library of proprietary ACDA processing forms that help you save time and maximize USDA funding as well as state-developed Recipient Agency Web Based Supply Chain Management training guides to take your career to the next level.
