Agricultural research and its role in securing the US food supply was the topic of a Senate Ag Committee hearing on Wednesday.
Senate Ag Committee Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow says expanding ag research is critical to the future of the industry.
“Accelerating agricultural research is vital to feeding a growing global population and addressing the climate crisis, which threatens farmers’ livelihoods and our entire food supply,” she says.
Testifying during the hearing, former Ag Secretary Dan Glickman says ag research and food-related research deserves a much higher priority among our nation’s leaders.
