Which organization connects US agriculture internationally to promote global food security and enhance US import and export opportunities?

• A. World Trade Organization
• B. Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS)
• C. United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization
• D. U.S. Department of Commerce

Answer: (B)

This question tests identifying the federal agency dedicated to linking U.S. agriculture with international markets to promote global food security and expand export and import opportunities. The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is the USDA unit built for this purpose, working to promote U.S. agricultural exports, provide market intelligence, and help secure access to foreign markets while supporting global nutrition and food security through trade. The other options have broader or different roles: the World Trade Organization sets international trade rules and disputes, not specifically promoting U.S. agricultural trade; the United Nations FAO focuses on global food and agriculture development rather than national trade promotion; and the U.S. Department of Commerce handles general international trade and economic policy, not the targeted agricultural trade connection managed by FAS.
