Today, state departments of agriculture celebrate the bipartisan passage of the Growing Climate Solutions Act. National Association of State Departments of Agriculture CEO Dr. Barb Glenn offered the following praise for the act:
“Through its voluntary structure and focus on supporting farmers, The Growing Climate Solutions Act enables all agricultural producers to further embrace climate smart practices with new educational resources and economic certainty. State departments of agriculture ardently work to ensure the prosperity of agriculture and welcome the opportunity to assist farmers seeking to enter the carbon market.
NASDA commends the U.S. Senate for holding to their commitment to act on climate policy and thanks Senator Stabenow, Senator Braun, and Senator Boozman for leading the development of the Growing Climate Solutions Act in a strong bi-partisan fashion.”
Background:
