A strategic plan is a tool that delivers guidance in achieving a mission or goal with maximum proficiency and control for an organization. Strategic planning is used to transform and revitalize organizations. The plan helps provide an inclusive understanding of opportunities and challenges both internally and externally for the organization. The plan delivers an assessment of the strengths and limitations that are realistic within the company. A well-developed strategic plan will offer a comprehensive approach and empowerment for the stakeholders involved. It is an opportunity for learning and understanding priorities that will drive the business to succeed. Jones (2010), describes how in health care organizations, strategic plans
Utilizing yearly goals as a means to strategically plan the future of the organization has been widely successful thus far. However, an organization as large as the county is lacking a strategic plan is a recipe for disaster is the future. Over the past ten years the net taxable value has increased by 27 billion or nearly 1/3rd of the current value (Collin County, 2013). Developing a strategic plan enhances better communications with those both inside and outside the organization. Further, providing a road map to show where the organization is going and how to get there.
The USDA has a mission to keep the United States safe for people to eat to reduce the spread of diseases from animal to man. For a veterinarian it would be my job to observe the animals and plants to insure that the animal is well so that it does not spread. As a veterinarian we would have make sure that the food the livestock eat is healthy and clean for them and to insure that consumers are getting more their money. We would have to make sure that the food and medication that the livestock get do not affect the people. The USDA also has other mission that I appreciate like ending world hunger, and education the

The government has different functions, however they all comprise of one goal: which is protecting the citizens that it encompasses. The Department of Agriculture protects American citizens by creating a certain criteria for large agribusiness companies to comply with. If they do not follow the safety and health criteria then the product is not allowed to be sold in the United States. Therefore, the USDA protects people from the corruption and callous agribusiness companies that only want profit, as well as exhibits the ineffectiveness of the USDA for preventing the corruption inside the agency by agribusiness extortion.

Strategic planning can dictate the success of any organization if properly planned as well as the failure of an organization if not implemented as planned. Strategic planning is all about making choices. It is a process designed to support leaders in being intentional about their goals and methods. Simply stated, strategic planning is a management tool, and like any management tool, it is used for one purpose only—to help an organization do a better job. This portion of the strategic plan will explain why an
2012, and although the U.S. Senate passed the 2012 Farm Bill, the House of Representatives has failed to either pass a new bill or enact a short-term plan (National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, 2012). The importance of this year’s Farm Bill is that it includes conservation compliance measures (AFT, 2012b). The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition [NSAC] (2012) is a nonprofit agency that employs direct advocacy, grassroots movements, and public education to promote institutional reform and natural resource conservation. This group recognizes the need for federal funding and regulation of farms, and it responds by using its financial and time resources to get information to farmers and establishing a respected office in D.C. (NSAC, 2012). While the NSAC supports other aspects of sustainable agriculture, such as buying locally grown food, most of their work is geared towards getting information to farmers and Congressmen/women about agricultural practices and programs. This November the NSAC

UC Davis researchers have been at the forefront of addressing multidisciplinary topics to serve food, agriculture, environment, and human health for decades. After almost 10 years as a student and a current post-doctoral researcher working in the area of food science, I am still fascinated by research and development topics and interests behind various types of food, and how deep food touches every aspect of human society from individual consumption to national policy, economies and education. Moreover, I am seeking the kind of interdisciplinary study that Food and Ag Program offers so I can build on my existing background designing programs that aim to participate in food and agriculture innovation, to learn, design, deliver and lead transformative
In formulating a process for undertaking a strategic plan for, say the veterinary services organization mentioned in my course paper and presentation, a first step would be formulating at least a mission statement for the organization. Since the veterinary clinic in question had not formalized a mission statement its mission was perhaps nebulous or up for debate. Berman suggests that the original mission statement might be revisited during the design phase (please see the following below), however, if none is in place prior to the start of strategic planning then perhaps an attempt to develop one at the start of the strategic planning process is advisable, even if it were to be revisited and modified during the process. As the Chinese proverb states, “如果你不知道你要去哪裡,任何道路會帶你去那裡。”* The mission statement allows the organization to develop specific goals and programs and serve a purpose in the strategic planning process.
