Vilsack: U.S. Needs To Work With Others To Address Climate Change

Under the Biden Administration, climate change, has become a major issue, not just for the U.S. or other economic super powers, bur really with most nations across the globe.

"I can tell you that I've called a lot more Ag administrators and commissioners around the world in the first 60 days I've been on this job than I may have done in the first six months or year the first time I had this job," said Agriculture Secretary, Tom Vlisack. He added that can be done by contacting and working with as many other nations as possible.

"We can for alliance and groups of nations that are like-minded on the issue of climate to make sure that we go in to a variety of international forums that we held this year having a strong position a position that supports science-based tool making. A position that supports the role of innovation and science in meeting the challenges of food production and climate change."

Vilsack noted the U.S. is going to be a major participant in a big UN meeting this November in Scotland.
