As of 2023, the Secretary of the department is Kevin Atticks, appointed by Governor Wes Moore.[4] He was preceded in this position by Joseph Bartenfelder.[5]

The Department provides various initiatives to promote local agriculture, such as the "True Blue Maryland Crab Meat" ranking which allows local restaurants to certify restaurants that are serving local crabmeat rather than something imported from out of state.[6]
