USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack joined Senator Debbie Stabenow, chair of the Senate Ag Committee in Michigan Friday to highlight the benefits of climate policy to agriculture.
Secretary Vilsack wants agriculture and forestry to lead the effort on climate solutions and emphasized his support of the Growing Climate Solutions Act in the U.S. Senate which he tells Brownfield will lay the foundation to climate policy, “Because it will provide confidence and certainty and consistency in terms of the standards and protocols to apply to conservation efforts that result in positive climate benefits—and that’s what creates the market opportunity for us,” he says.
