ADAPT FEDERAL PROGRAMS TO MEET STATE CONDITIONS:

Conclusion: Federal programs do not always fit the unique conditions in South Florida. Need to find ways to adapt federal programs so they will better meet state needs and avoid the potential for causing adverse unintended consequences.

Recommendations:

Who: SFERTF, working with USDA-NRCS, DOACS, DEP, DCA, the Governor's Office and other appropriate agencies and farm groups.
What: Need to initiate actions at the federal level. SFERTF, with support from USDA-NRCS, DOACS, DEP, DCA, the Governor's Office and other appropriate agencies and farm groups, should:

• review all federal programs to identify areas where they do not fit conditions in Florida,
• make recommendations to revise these programs so they will work more effectively and efficiently in Florida; and 
• encourage all affected federal agencies and the Congressional Delegation to take administrative and legislative steps, as necessary, to rectify all shortcomings.
