@SecVilsack
- Producers and rural communities in the West face unique challenges, but also unique opportunities. I was happy to spend time with @westgov talking about @USDA’s investments in climate-smart agriculture, clean energy, and economic development that can help their states thrive.
- I spoke to the Western Governors Association today about President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda, which has poured unprecedented resources into rural communities in their states and around the nation.
@FDAfood
- The World Health Organization @WHO has released a new guidance: “Whole genome sequencing as a tool to strengthen foodborne disease surveillance and response.” FDA staff helped develop this important guidance which was a priority for FDA. https://who.int/news/item/07-11-2023-who-launches-guide-on-whole-genome-sequencing-use-as-a-tool-for-foodborne-disease-surveillance-and-response

USDA Announces Progress to Further Competition in Agriculture, Level Playing Field for Farmers
@SecVilsack
- No one says it better than @POTUS: Capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism. It’s exploitation. For too long, producers have been exploited by deceptive practices. Today we’re taking steps to remedy that.
- Competition ensures that American farmers, ranchers, and those who grow our nation’s food have the freedom to choose among different suppliers, employers, and retailers to buy and sell high-quality products that support rural economies.
- I’m announcing the final Poultry Transparency Rule, which will protect poultry growers from deceptive practices and increase transparency in the poultry market. https://usda.gov/media/press-releases/2023/11/08/usda-announces-progress-further-competition-agriculture-level
- Today’s actions are key to @POTUS’ Investing in America and Bidenomics agenda. They further competition in the industry, allowing more producers to get a fair price for their products and create economic opportunity for their operations.
