EXHIBIT 10.2

                               CONAGRA FOODS, INC.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED

                             NONQUALIFIED CRISP PLAN

     1.  Purpose.  The Company  has  previously  adopted the ConAgra  Retirement
Income Savings Plan ("Qualified  CRISP"). The Qualified CRISP is qualified under
Code ss.  401(a).  Regardless of a qualified  plan's benefit  formula,  the Code
imposes  restrictions  upon  the  benefits  that  may be  provided  under  plans
qualified  under  Code  ss.  401(a),  such  as  limitations  under  Code  ss.ss.
401(a)(17),   401(k),   402(g)  and  415  ("Code   Restrictions").   These  Code
Restrictions  limit  the  amount of  retirement  benefits  that may be  provided
certain Company  executives under the Qualified CRISP.  This Plan is created for
the sole  purpose and  intended to make up the  employer-provided  benefits  not
available  under  the  Qualified  CRISP  benefit  formula  because  of the  Code
Restrictions.

     2. Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to the Plan:

     2.1 "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     2.2 "Committee" means the Human Resources Committee of the Company Board of
Directors.

     2.3  "Company"  or  "ConAgra"   means  ConAgra  Foods,   Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation.

     2.4 "ConAgra  Controlled  Group" means the controlled group of corporations
as described in Code ss. 414(b), which includes ConAgra.

     2.5  "Employee"  shall have the same meaning as set forth in the  Qualified
CRISP.

     2.6 "ERISA" means the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended.

     2.7  "Participant"  means an Employee  who has  satisfied  the  eligibility
requirements  set forth in  Section 3 of the Plan and who has not  received  his
total benefits under the Plan.

     2.8  "Participant's  Account"  means an  account  established  pursuant  to
Section 6 of the Plan.

     2.9 "Plan" means the ConAgra Foods, Inc. Nonqualified CRISP Plan, set forth
herein, as it may be amended from time to time.

     2.10 "Plan Year" means the calendar year.

     2.11 "Total and  Permanent  Disability"  shall have the same meaning as set
forth in the Qualified CRISP.

     2.12  "Year of  Service"  shall  have the same  meaning as set forth in the
Qualified CRISP.

     3.  Eligibility  and  Participation.  Each Employee who meets the following
requirements shall participate in the Plan:

          (a)  The Employee's  benefits under the Qualified CRISP are limited by
               the Code Restrictions; and

          (b)  The  Committee  has selected the Employee to  participate  in the
               Plan.

     The Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan as of the first day the
Employee has met each of the above two (2)  requirements,  or such other date as
selected by the Committee. Each Participant shall continue to participate in the
Plan until all the benefits payable to the Participant  under the Plan have been
paid.

     4. General  Benefit and Funding.  The Company shall make a contribution  to
each Participant's  Account on the last day of each Plan Year in an amount equal
to the excess of (a) over (b), where:

          (a)  equals the employer contribution that would have been made to the
               Qualified  CRISP for the  Participant had there not been any Code
               Restrictions  and assuming the  Participant  had made the maximum
               employee contribution allowed under the Qualified CRISP (ignoring
               the Code Restrictions), and

          (b)  equals the employer  matching  contribution  that would have been
               made  to  the  Qualified   CRISP  for  the   Participant  if  the
               Participant had made the maximum  employee  contribution  allowed
               under Qualified CRISP (ignoring the Code Restrictions).

     The maximum employee contribution assumed in (a) above is computed ignoring
the Code Restrictions,  but not the percentage limits on employee  contributions
set forth in the Qualified CRISP and not the percentages  imposed because of the
mathematical test under Code ss. 401(k)(3)(A).

     5.  Withholding.   The  Company  shall  withhold  the  applicable  Old-Age,
Survivor,  and  Disability  Insurance  portion of FICA tax, if any, and Hospital
Insurance portion of FICA tax due on each contribution made to the Participant's
Account. The Company shall withhold any other applicable Federal, state or local
tax,  required  by  law  to be  withheld,  on  each  contribution  made  to  the
Participant's Account.

     6. Participants' Accounts. A separate account shall be established for each
Participant in the Plan ("Participant's  Account").  Each Participant's  Account
shall share in the earnings and losses of the Plan in proportion to the value of
the account on the first day of the valuation period. Each Participant's Account
shall be valued as often as  determined  appropriate  by the  Committee,  but at
least once per Plan Year. A  Participant's  Account shall not be forfeitable for
any reason.

     7.  Payment  of  Benefits.  The  benefits  payable  under the Plan shall be
payable  upon the same event  that  causes the  payment  of  benefits  under the
Qualified  CRISP.  The form of benefits  hereunder shall be the same form as the
form of  benefit  payments  provided  under the  Qualified  CRISP  with the same
elections to the Participant  (and the  Participant's  spouse) as provided under
the Qualified CRISP,  except that the payment of benefits  hereunder shall be in
cash and shall be made  based  upon the  valuation  at the  quarterly  valuation
period  immediately  preceding the payment date. The amount of benefits shall be
based upon the balance in the  Participant's  Account  with  payment of benefits
from the  Participant's  Account payable until the  Participant's  Account has a
zero (0) balance.

     8.  Administration.  The Plan shall be administered  and interpreted by the
Committee.  The Committee shall make all determinations  with regard to the Plan
in the sole and absolute  discretion of the Committee.  The Committee shall have
the  authority,  subject to the  provisions of the Plan, to establish,  adopt or
revise  rules  and  regulations  as it  deems  necessary  or  advisable  for the
administration  of the Plan.  Claims  procedures  and claims  review  procedures
required  by ERISA  shall be  developed  by the  Committee.  To the  extent  not
inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of  the  Plan,  all  determinations  of the
Committee  shall be final,  conclusive  and binding  upon all the  parties.  Any
determination  or decision  that only affects a member of the Committee who is a
Participant  shall be made by the  members  of the  Committee  other  than  such
Participant.

     9.  Beneficiary  Designation.  Designation of a beneficiary  under the Plan
shall be in the same form and with the same  restrictions as under the Qualified
CRISP.

     10. Spendthrift Provision.  No benefit, right or interest payable under the
Plan  shall  be  subject,  at  any  time  and in any  manner,  to  anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer,  assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, seizure,
attachment or legal,  equitable or other process or be liable for, or subject to
the  debts,  liabilities  or  other  obligations  of a  Participant,  except  as
otherwise  provided  by  law.  A  distribution  by  the  estate  of  a  deceased
Participant or beneficiary to an heir or legatee of a right to receive  payments
hereunder shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 10.

     11.  Amendment  and  Termination.  The  Company,  by action of its Board of
Directors,  may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, provided,  however, the
Plan shall not be amended or terminated to eliminate or reduce any Participant's
Account  balance of the  Participants  therein at the time of the  amendment  or
termination or to reduce the vesting of a Participant.

     12.  Applicable  Law.  To the extent not  pre-empted  by federal  law,  the
provisions  of the Plan  and all  rights  hereunder  shall  be  governed  by and
construed,  enforced  and  administered  according  to the laws of the  State of
Nebraska.

     13.  Severability.  If any  provision  of  the  Plan  is  held  invalid  or
unenforceable,  its  invalidity or  unenforceability  shall not affect any other
provision of the Plan,  and the Plan shall be construed  and enforced as if such
provision had not been included herein.

     14.  Effective Date. The Plan was adopted  effective  January 1, 1988. This
amended and restated  document  reflects all Plan  amendments  through August 1,
2005.EXHIBIT 10.3

Mr. Bruce Rohde
ConAgra Foods, Inc.
One ConAgra Drive
Omaha, NE 68102

Dear Bruce:

     This  letter   summarizes  and  confirms  the  agreements   regarding  your
transition from the role of Chairman,  Chief Executive  Officer,  and President,
and your employment status and arrangements  thereafter with ConAgra Foods, Inc.
(the "Company").

     Recognizing  the Company has now recruited and elected a CEO and President,
and elected a non-executive Chairman both to commence their respective duties on
October 1, 2005, your official  resignation date as Chairman,  CEO and President
and, except as provided herein, all other executive  positions and directorships
with the Company and any of the  Company's  subsidiaries  will be September  30,
2005 (the  "Resignation  Date"). On that date, you will deliver your resignation
of the  positions of Chairman,  CEO and President of the Company and the Company
will  accept  your  resignation  letter  to the  Company  per  the  Good  Reason
provisions of your Employment Agreement dated August 26, 1996, the Amendments to
the  Employment  Agreement  dated  December  23, 1996 and February 16, 1998 (the
"Employment Agreement").

1.   Salary and Incentives:

     Through  September  30, 2005,  you will  continue in your role as Chairman,
CEO, and  President,  and you will  receive  your  regular base salary,  paid in
accordance  with the customary  payroll  practice in the monthly amount equal to
$100,000, subject to applicable FICA and income tax withholding obligations.

     In addition to the monthly salary described above, for fiscal year 2006 you
will also  receive Long Term  Incentive  Awards of stock and cash under the Long
Term Senior Management Incentive Plan ("LTSMIP") based on an award pool of 8% of
the Company's excess after-tax earnings over and above 5% compound annual growth
rate from a fixed  five-year  average  earnings  base and both of which  will be
prorated  to reflect  the number of days from the  beginning  of the fiscal year
through your Resignation  Date. Such payments will be calculated and paid in the
same manner as LTSMIP Awards have been  calculated  and paid in the past for the
Company's other senior executive  officers  participating in such plans,  except
that the stock and the cash  awards  payable  to you will be  immediately  fully
vested and no longer be subject to any risk of forfeiture.

     For  fiscal  year  2006 you will also  receive  an award  under the  Annual
Management  Incentive  Plan  ("MIP"),  prorated for the fiscal year through your
Resignation  Date.  The MIP  Award  will be based on the PBT  performance  scale
approved by the Human  Resources  Committee of the Board on July 25, 2005.  This
award  will not be  restricted  in any way and will  not be  subject  to risk of
forfeiture.

     The LTSMIP Awards and the Annual MIP Award  described above will be subject
to applicable FICA and income tax withholding obligations.

     From your  Resignation  Date through  September  30, 2009 (the  "Separation
Date"),  you will be  employed  in a  non-officer  capacity,  with the  title of
Chairman and CEO Emeritus of the Company (the "Employment  Period"),  and during
the  Employment  Period you will be paid half your regular base salary,  paid in
accordance  with the  customary  payroll  practice in a monthly  amount equal to
$50,000,  subject to applicable FICA and income tax withholding obligations (the
"Base Salary");  provided,  however,  that you shall not be entitled to the Base
Salary so long as you, without good and sufficient reason (i.e.,  being directed
to perform services inconsistent with the Requested Services (as defined below))
or in the  absence  of a  material  breach  of this  Agreement  by the  Company,
willfully refuse to perform your duties and obligations  contemplated hereunder.
If you are terminated  for "Cause" (as defined in the Employment  Agreement) the
Employment  Period will end. It is understood that after your  participation  in
the fiscal year 2006 plans you will not continue to participate in the Long Term
Senior  Management  Incentive  Plans or the Annual  Management  Incentive  Plan.
During the Employment  Period,  you will make yourself  reasonably  available to
furnish  such  information  and  background  as may be  reasonably  necessary in
connection  with any inquiry,  investigation,  dispute,  litigation,  regulatory
proceeding  or other  action  in which the  Company  is or may  become  involved
insofar as it relates to matters arising out of your employment. In that regard,
you will report to the  Chairman of the Board of  Directors  of the Company (the
"Chairman")  and provide such  services as  reasonably,  ethically  and lawfully
requested by the Chairman,  which services  shall be consistent  with the duties
and  responsibilities  of a senior  officer of the  Company  and which you shall
provide  in  accordance  with the  Company's  corporate  governance  and  ethics
guidelines  (the  "Requested  Services").  If you are called  upon to serve as a
witness or provide  assistance  in or with respect to any such  proceeding,  you
agree to cooperate with the Company to the full extent permitted by law, and the
Company  agrees  that any such call  shall be with  reasonable  notice and shall
provide for payment for your costs  incurred in such matters.  Furthermore,  you
will  promptly  give written  notice to the Company of any inquiry,  approach or
other notice you receive or are informed of by or from any  governmental  entity
regarding any inquiry, investigation, dispute, litigation, regulatory proceeding
or other  action  involving  the Company.  Provided  that you advise the Company
prior to  engaging in any such  action,  the  provisions  of this letter and the
agreements herein shall not apply to or restrict in any way the communication of
information  by you to any state or federal  law  enforcement  agency or require
notice to the Company thereof. If during the Employment Period or thereafter you
are  requested  to  perform  significant  additional  services,  any  additional
compensation would be agreed to between the parties hereunder.

2.   Health Benefits Continuation:

     During the  Employment  Period,  you and your  qualifying  dependents  will
receive the health benefits the Company maintains for its executive  officers at
no cost to you.  You  will be  responsible  for any  taxes  associated  with the
premiums,  co-payments and deductibles paid on behalf of you and your qualifying
dependents during the Employment  Period.  Upon the expiration of the Employment
Period,  you will be  permitted  to  continue  your  Company  medical and dental
benefits  coverage  for the  maximum  period  permitted  under the  Consolidated
Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended ("COBRA"),  and to participate in
the Company's post-retirement medical programs, if any, pursuant to the terms of
such  programs.  If you should elect such  continuation  of Company  medical and
dental  benefits  coverage,  you will be required to pay for such coverage in an
amount  not to exceed the then  normal  amounts  which may be  charged  for such
coverage under COBRA, provided that if you are considered a retiree for purposes
of the Company's health plans, you shall pay applicable retiree rates.

3.   AD/D and LTD Coverage:

     During the  Employment  Period,  you will continue to receive the same AD/D
and LTD coverage you had immediately  prior to your  Resignation Date at no cost
to you.

4.   Stock Options:

     On your Resignation  Date, to the extent previously  unvested,  all of your
employee  stock  options  shall  vest and no  longer be  subject  to any risk of
forfeiture.  You are entitled to exercise  these  options until the end of their
respective terms subject to any adjustment provisions on corporate transactions.
The Company shall be entitled to withhold  from the stock (or stock  proceeds in
the event of a cashless exercise)  applicable FICA and income taxes with respect
to the exercises of any such stock options granted to you by the Company.

5.   Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Share Equivalent Units:

     On your Resignation  Date, to the extent previously  unvested,  all of your
restricted  stock awards and restricted  share  equivalent  units shall vest, no
longer be subject to any risk of forfeiture,  and be promptly  delivered to you,
subject to the provisions of Section 17 hereof. The Company shall be entitled to
withhold  applicable FICA and income taxes with respect to the vesting of any of
your restricted  stock awards and share  equivalent  units granted to you by the
Company.

6.   Restricted Cash Awards:

     On your Resignation  Date, to the extent previously  unvested,  all of your
restricted  cash  awards  shall  vest,  no  longer  be  subject  to any  risk of
forfeiture, and be promptly paid to you, subject to the provisions of Section 17
hereof.  The Company  shall be entitled to withhold  applicable  FICA and income
taxes with respect to the vesting of any of your  restricted cash awards granted
to you by the Company.

7.   Other Benefits Programs:

     During the Employment Period, you will continue to participate in all other
benefit programs maintained by the Company for its executive officers,  which as
of the date hereof include the ConAgra Foods Retirement Income Savings Plan, the
Non-Qualified  ConAgra Foods  Retirement  Income Savings Plan, the ConAgra Foods
Inc. Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan, the ConAgra Pension Plan for Salaried
Employees and the ConAgra Nonqualified Pension Plan.

     a.   Non-Qualified Pension Plan:

          During the Employment  Period, you will continue to participate in the
     Company's  Non-Qualified  Pension Plan.  Your  benefits  under the plan are
     fully  vested and  non-forfeitable.  You are entitled to receive a lump-sum
     distribution  of your benefits under the Plan on October 1, 2009. That lump
     sum payment and an example of the calculation that produces the payment has
     been  reviewed and  verified by you and the Company as correct.  The actual
     lump sum payment will be calculated in accordance  with the  methodology in
     the  example  and using the same  actuarial  assumptions  unless  different
     assumptions  are  required  by the terms of the plan,  in which  event such
     required assumptions shall be used.

     b.   Pension Plan for Salaried Employees:

          During the Employment  Period, you will continue to participate in the
     Company's Pension Plan for Salaried Employees. Your benefits under the plan
     are fully vested and  non-forfeitable  and your projected  benefit has been
     verified by you and the Company as correct.  It will be  distributed  under
     the terms of the plan.  You may elect any form of benefit  permitted  under
     the plan.

     c.   Retirement Income Savings Plan:

          During the Employment  Period, you will continue to participate in the
     Company's  Retirement  Income Savings Plan.  Your account under the plan is

8.   Deferred Compensation Plan:

     During the  Employment  Period,  you may  continue  to  participate  in the

provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
the Department of Treasury guidance thereunder (collectively, "Section 409A"). A
schedule reflecting the current balance in your account under that plan has been
reviewed and verified by you and the Company as correct.

9.   Office and Administrative Support Matters:

     Commencing  October 1, 2005 and continuing  through December 31, 2009, your
office and administrative  support will be relocated.  A schedule reflecting the
location and  staffing has been  reviewed and verified by you and the Company as
acceptable  to both  parties.  In the event  your  administrative  assistant  is
unavailable for service during this time period, the Company and you will select
a substitute of equivalent  capabilities mutually acceptable to both parties. In
the event the office  location  is  unavailable  during  this time  period,  the
Company and you will select a substitute  of similar  size and quality  mutually
acceptable  to both parties.  The lease for the agreed  office space  terminates
December 31, 2009. To the extent the lease provides  assignable rights to extend
or renew, the Company agrees to assign those rights to you upon your request for
same.

     During your Employment Period, the Company will provide and maintain normal
administrative service, supplies,  furnishings,  equipment and technical support
consistent with your current level of support, and no less than that provided to
executive  officers  of the  Company,  for such  things  as  phones,  computers,
internet connections, e-mail service, printers,  photocopying,  office supplies,
mail services, express services, and security. In the event you are requested or
required  to travel on  business  related to the  Company,  your  travel will be
provided by Company aircraft or equivalent utilized by executive officers of the
Company.  In the event you incur reasonable business expense on business related
to the company, you will be timely reimbursed for same.

10.  Payments to Estate:

     In the event of your death, to the extent that any of the
Company's obligations to you under this letter and the agreements herein, remain
outstanding to you at the time of your death, the Company will continue to make
such payments to your estate in the time and manner set forth in the appropriate
provisions of this letter and the agreements herein (taking into account the
provisions of any benefit plans or programs in which you participated).

11.  Non-Competition:

     The provisions of Section 7 of the Employment  Agreement  shall continue in
full  force and  effect  during  the  Employment  Period  and  terminate  at the

party in any civil,  criminal or administrative  action,  suit,  proceeding,  or

that you are or were a director,  officer,  employee or agent of the Company, or
of any other  corporation  or any  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or other

manner you  reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of
the Company at the time of such acts.  The Company shall advance to you fees and
expenses incurred or reasonably  expected to be incurred including  retainers on
the same basis as applicable to then current executive officers and directors of
the  Company.  As used herein,  the term  "expenses"  shall  include any and all
obligations  and  expenditures  actually and reasonably  incurred by you, as and
when  incurred,  for  the  payment  of  money,  including,  without  limitation,
attorney's  fees and costs,  advances  on  attorney  fees and costs,  judgments,
awards,  fines, bonds,  penalties and amounts paid in satisfaction of a judgment
or in  settlement  of  any  such  action,  suit  or  proceeding.  The  foregoing

indemnification to which you may be entitled and shall be in no way construed to
limit any indemnification  rights you may have under the Company's  Certificates
of  Incorporation  or Bylaws or any provision of  applicable  State law and your
Employment  Agreement which for this purpose shall survive and continue in force
and effect.

14.  Arbitration; Legal Matters and Fees:

     Except  as  provided  for in  Section  7 of the  Employment  Agreement  and
hereunder,  any dispute,  controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the
obligations  under this letter and the  agreements  herein,  shall be settled by
final and  binding  arbitration  in  accordance  with the  American  Arbitration
Association  Commercial  Dispute  Resolution  Rules.  The  arbitrator  shall  be
selected by mutual agreement of the parties, if possible. If the parties fail to
reach  agreement  upon  appointment  of an arbitrator  within 30 days  following
receipt by one party of the other  party's  notice of desire to  arbitrate,  the
arbitrator  shall be selected  from a panel or panels  submitted by the American
Arbitration  Association (the "AAA").  The selection process shall be that which
is set forth in the AAA Commercial Dispute Resolution Rules, except that, if the
parties fail to select an arbitrator from one or more panels, AAA shall not have
the power to make an appointment but shall continue to submit  additional panels
until an arbitrator has been selected. All fees and expenses of the arbitration,
including a transcript  if requested,  will be borne by the Company,  unless the
arbitrator  finds your claim to have been  frivolous.  In addition,  the Company
shall pay to you as incurred all legal and accounting fees and expenses incurred
by you in seeking to obtain,  enforce or defend any right or benefit provided by
this Agreement or any other  compensation-related plan, agreement or arrangement
of the Company,  unless your claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction
or an arbitrator to have been frivolous.

15.  Governing Law:

     This letter and the agreements  herein shall be governed by,  construed and
enforced in  accordance  with the laws of the state of Delaware,  excluding  any
conflicts  of  law,  rule  or  principle  that  might  otherwise  refer  to  the
substantive law of another jurisdiction.

16.  Notice:

     Any notice or other  communication  required or  permitted  pursuant to the
terms of this letter and the agreements  herein shall be in writing and shall be
