We need to work together to embrace innovation & technology to feed the world https://www.euractiv.com/section/agriculture-food/opinion/embracing-technology-to-feed-a-growing-world/
- · I’m really proud of our team at @USDA for putting the Farmers to Families Food Box Program together in such a quick manner.
