This week, the Biden Administration announced its plan to tackle the climate crisis. The agriculture industry is watching the climate change plan very closely as this could affect how they do business in the future.
The fact sheet says, “President Biden set ambitious goals that will ensure America and the world can meet the urgent demands of the climate crisis, while empowering American workers and businesses to lead a clean energy revolution that achieves a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and puts the United States on an irreversible path to a net-zero economy by 2050.”
Under the Advance Conservation, Agriculture, and Reforestation tab of the fact sheet it says, “The order directs the Secretary of Agriculture to collect input from farmers, ranchers, and other stakeholders on how to use federal programs to encourage adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices that produce verifiable carbon reductions and sequestrations and create new sources of income and jobs for rural Americans.”
