@SecVilsack
- RT @USDairyExporter: U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is at @COP26 discussing climate-smart initiatives for dairy and the rest of agriculture. “It’s important for the livestock industry to be part of an effort to reduce methane by 30% by the year 2030,” he says. #PathwaysToDairyNetZero
- We believe that sustainably managed livestock systems play a critical role in global food and nutrition security, livelihoods, nutrient cycling and carbon storage. To feed a growing population, we need to scale-up production while minimizing environmental impacts. #NetZero
