  • 8-23-21 Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried Shares Facts to Encourage People to Work Together
    HardisonInk.com Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried shares facts to encourage people to work together to reduce the spread of COVID-19 Information Provided By FDACS Communications Published Aug. 23, 2021 at 4:11 p.m. PUBLISHER’S NOTE: Following is the written version of a message Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried shared today (Monday, Aug. 19) during a press briefing in Tallahassee. She urges people to work together to fight against COVID-19. Following is what she said. TALLAHASSEE -- Hi, I’m Nikki Fried, Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Four weeks ago, as our state began witnessing record-high cases, hospitalizations and deaths, I stood up at the Florida Capitol to provide the public with the latest COVID-19 information – something the governor and the Florida Department of Health ceased providing the first week of June. I made a promise that day to continue providing the regular, timely updates that the people of Florida need and deserve to be able to make the best decisions to keep their families safe during this public health crisis. And I have kept that promise, holding near-daily briefings for the past four weeks. I’m here again today because the governor and Florida Department of Health have failed to provide daily COVID-19 updates for nearly three months even as the situation in the state has continued to worsen. Since my first briefing four weeks ago, hospitalizations in the state have nearly doubled – causing staff shortages and pushing our hospitals to capacity. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there are currently 17,143 Floridians lying in hospital beds with COVID-19 as we speak – including 3,557 COVID patients in the ICU.

Regaining lost food is a must to sustainably provide for everyone.” Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Ryan Quarles also signed the pledge. Connect with NASDA at nasda.org/news or on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to learn more about how state departments of agriculture are reducing food waste.
