Tribal Listening Session Webinar on the “ Animal Disease Traceability Framework”

USDA and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Tribal Listening Session on the “Animal Disease Traceability Framework”

Meeting Password: [REDACTED]

+1 669-254-5252 US +1 646-828-7666 US
The national animal disease traceability (ADT) framework allows Federal, State, Tribal, and private animal health professionals to work together to identify diseased animals, quickly trace their movements, and control disease spread to protect the livestock industry, whose production value was approximately $64 billion in 2020 (National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA). The ADT framework enables state, tribal, and federal animal health officials to trace an animal from the location of official identification application to the animal’s last location, which is often the termination point or slaughter plant. Knowledge of the location of diseased and exposed animals helps preserve animal health; enables a rapid response in case of an animal disease event; reduces animal illnesses and deaths during outbreaks; and decreases the long term cost to producers, consumers, and the government. This system also assures our trading partners that the USDA and State partners can rapidly contain an animal disease event.
During this listening session they would like to take the time to update Tribal Nations on the current traceability program, provide overview of regulatory changes that are proposed, and invite you to comment when a proposed rule update is published this summer.
If you have questions about the webinar, please contact APHIS’ Office of National Tribal Liaison (ONTL) Program Analyst Denise Salvetti at denise.salvetti@usda.gov.

Over 30 years ago, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Native American professionals in philanthropy came together to build a new vision for power in the sector.

Together, we will celebrate the leadership of our peoples and cultures in the sector, develop strategies to build power and increase resources in our communities, and most importantly—have fun!

Over three days, we will:

Welcome and celebrate the reunion of our philanthropic families with new and long-time members.
Gather as AAPIP and NAP networks to share our strategic direction, hold annual meetings, and attend network-specific business.

Dear Tribal Leader Letter
Framing Paper
Purpose. The Biden-Harris Administration has launched an effort to end hunger by 2030 and to increase healthy eating and physical activity so that fewer Americans get chronic diseases — like heart disease and diabetes. This effort will include a White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health to find solutions to these challenges. At the conference, scheduled for September, the Biden-Harris Administration will announce a Plan encouraging the public and private sectors to work together to transform the food and physical activity environments in the United States. The goal is to help end hunger, improve nutrition and physical activity, and eliminate disparities.
Framing Paper. Thank you for your active participation this past year on USDA, DOI, and HHS’s consultations on food, foodways, and nutrition. In advance of the Tribal Consultation, we will share a Framing Paper that incorporates the concerns, challenges, and recommendations we have already heard from Indian Country to date related to indigenous nutrition, foodways, and food insecurity and discuss how we can build off your previous comments to do the following:

Improve food access and affordability: End hunger by making it easier for everyone — including urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities — to access and afford food. For example, expand eligibility for and increase participation in food assistance programs and improve transportation to places where food is available.
Integrate nutrition and health: Prioritize the role of nutrition and food security in overall health, including disease prevention and management, and ensure our health care system addresses the nutrition-related needs of all people.
Empower all consumers to make and have access to healthy choices: Foster environments that enable all people to easily make informed healthy choices ¾ increase access to healthy food, encourage healthy workplace and school policies, and invest in public messaging and education campaigns that are culturally appropriate and resonate with specific communities.
Support physical activity for all: Make it easier for people to be more physically active ¾ in part by ensuring everyone has access to safe places to get active ¾ increase awareness of the benefits of physical activity, and conduct research on and measure physical activity.
Enhance nutrition and food security research: Improve nutrition metrics, data collection, and research to inform nutrition and food security policy, particularly on issues of equity, access, and disparities.

Send written feedback and recommendations to consultation@hhs.gov by July 15, 2022.
