@USDA

  • Tomorrow at 6AM ET, tune in for LIVE coverage from #COP26 where @SecVilsack will join UAE Minister of Climate Change and Environment, H.E. Minister  @Mariammalmheiri to speak about #AIM4C and the need to increase and accelerate climate-smart ag & food systems https://youtube.com/c/MOEWUAE
  • Today @SecVilsack announced USDA & @USAID support #PathwaysToDairyNetZero, an initiative to accelerate climate action in the global dairy sector. It brings together groups across the supply chain to achieve #NetZero emissions in the next 30 yrs http://ow.ly/oecM50GFYhc

@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
