He appointed the first chemist to serve in the Department of Agriculture.
Lincoln created the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1862 and established scientific positions there. The Meat Inspection and Pure Food and Drug Acts (and the eventual FDA) came later (1906), and the CDC was founded in 1946.
