Vilsack highlights USDA’s climate initiatives and investments at COP27 (Farmers Advance)
Farmers’ Advance published an article on USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack’s COP27 comments. Vilsack highlighted the department’s initiatives and investments in climate-smart agriculture and forestry, noting that global food security depends upon the ability of farmers and producers worldwide to increase their productivity while strengthening their climate resilience and minimizing their climate impacts. “As we face down the dual crises of climate change and food insecurity, USDA recognizes that changes to our agriculture and food systems can only happen at the needed scale and speed if farmers are at the center of our solutions,” Vilsack said. One solution is a collaboration among the State Department and FAO, the Global Dairy Platform, and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) to help mobilize $1 billion from the green climate fund to accelerate sustainable dairy sector transformation in East Africa, Asia, and the Americas as part of pathways to dairy net zero.
