At a time when food security is just as important and complex as national security in emerging countries around the world, Cassidy & Associates announces a strategic alliance with AgriThority® that will leverage the success and expertise of both companies on behalf of its clients.

“This deal simply makes sense as it combines the on the ground know how of AgriThority with Cassidy’s long held public policy and reputation agility,” said Gerald S.J. Cassidy, founder and CEO of Cassidy & Associates. “As we start directly engaging countries and international organizations with more hands on authority, we are certain this new alliance will help cement our growing and successful international capability.”

AgriThority is a science-based, independent authority on food and agriculture as it provides services in developing countries patterned after the applied research and Cooperative Extension Service of land grant universities in the United States. The company serves as a valuable resource in assessing feasibility of food and agriculture production systems, land utilization and evaluating needs.

These agricultural experts focus on planning best uses of technology and training at all levels within the food production system. AgriThority works to improve quality and availability of food, feed, fiber and biofuels, and ultimately providing for food security in a given country or region.

Jerry Duff, managing director of AgriThority, added, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Cassidy, a true and trusted leader in Washington, as we seek to broaden the global reach of our team of economists, scientists and business development managers. Our combined efforts will no doubt provide a full service approach to new and existing opportunities.”

Cassidy noted the firm’s team of public policy experts has a long track record of successfully developing and implementing government relations and commercial diplomacy initiatives for governments, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations and multi-national corporations.

Through a consistent commitment to excellence established by Gerald S.J Cassidy in 1975, Cassidy & Associates deploys distinctively designed government relations strategies. As a trusted advisor, the Cassidy team, protects and connects clients around the world while delivering the results of an unrivaled Washington track record.
