The Chair of the U.S. House Ag Committee says there is no entity on earth is more dependent on the climate than agriculture which is why policymakers need to consider if more should be done to support carbon markets and their effort to mitigate it.
“It is most important that agriculture, our industry, be at the point of the spear in dealing with climate change,” he says.
Congressman David Scott of Georgia pressed committee members during Thursday’s hearing on voluntary carbon markets in agriculture and forestry to support transparent and reliable carbon markets to benefit the environment and producers.
