As part of its mission to protect the health of American agriculture, the United States Department of Agriculture's(USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service(APHIS) works to prevent foreign animal diseases from entering the U. S. and harming [the] nation's livestock and poultry. One way that APHIS does this is to enforce the Swine Health Protection Act, which provides rules for feeding human food waste to pigs. This practice, which is commonly known as garbage feeding, can spread diseases if contaminated meat products are fed to pigs.

The Special Program for African Agricultural Research(SPAAR) is an open coalition that seeks to enhance the contribution of agricultural research for food security, environmental sustainability and economic development in Africa. Its principal mission is to promote institutional reforms of agricultural research institutions, as a precondition for their sustainability and impact. SPAAR was established in 1985 by a group of donors that had come to realize that their approach to supporting African agricultural research was not effective in developing sustainable local capacity. In view of the pressures to account for resources and demonstrate impact donors tended to design free-standing projects that they could control. SPAAR was established to persuade donors to coordinate their projects, avoid duplication, and invest more in building local capacity.

Le Programme spécial pour la recherche agricole en Afrique (SPAAR) a été créé en 1985 par un groupe de donateurs, sous le parrainage de la Banque mondiale. Ayant pour mandat d'accroître l'efficacité de l'aide aux systèmes africains de recherche agricole, il articule son action autour des axes suivants : optimiser l'utilisation des ressources existantes; éviter les duplications d'activités; développer les échanges d'informations sur la recherche; et encourager la collaboration régionale et internationale afin de maximiser les synergies. Le SPAAR, qui se présentait au départ comme un cercle restreint de donateurs, est devenu au fil du temps une large coalition rassemblant tous les acteurs intéressés par la recherche agricole en Afrique. Cette évolution a été officialisée en 1994 à sa quatorzième session plénière, au cours de laquelle les donateurs ont décidé d'ouvrir la participation au SPAAR «à toutes les organisations qui appuient ses activités et sont disposées à collaborer à leur mise en œuvre».
