The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture commends Senator Stabenow, Senator Braun and the bill cosponsors for working in a bi-partisan fashion to introduce the Growing Climate Solutions Act.
“When governments invest in farmers, our communities and environment thrive. State department of agriculture leaders understand the central role agriculture serves in building climate resiliency and preserving our shared natural resources. NASDA is proud to support the Growing Climate Solutions Act, as it acknowledges and invests producers’ contribution to environmental sustainability and unites the industry around climate goals,” NASDA CEO Dr. Barb Glenn said.
