The USDA is looking at ways to expand markets for producers.
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack says expanding markets would transform the ag industry through President Biden’s $7 trillion Build Back Better Plan.
Vilsack says climate markets present revenue opportunities for farmers. “Paying farmers for sequestering carbon, paying farmers for capturing and reusing methane, allowing farmers to turn agricultural to waste into a variety into different materials and chemicals and fabrics and fibers,” he says.
