  • Today’s comprehensive package of investments targets urgent challenges facing agriculture today https://go.usa.gov/xMEEe

@SecVilsak

  • USDA is beginning a process to develop a Climate Smart Partnership Initiative that will finance the production of climate smart commodities through a series of large-scale pilots and demonstration projects.
  • And importantly, finance the steps necessary to properly measure and validate the environmental results from those practices.
  • Challenges arising from zoonotic disease now pose threats to our nation’s producers. An African Swine Fever outbreak in the U.S. would have devastating effects on the swine industry. It is critical to keep this disease out of our country.
  • USDA will work to prevent the spread of African Swine Fever via a robust expansion and coordination of monitoring, surveillance, prevention, quarantine, and eradication activities to prevent the disease from getting on the U.S. mainland
