Regardless of how the presidential election turned out, American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall says they knew that climate change would be a hot topic going forward. That’s why back in February, they joined the Environmental Defense Fund, National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, and the National Farmers Union to form The Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance, or FACA.
Duvall said of forming the alliance, “We decided if we start going to Congress, we’ve got to make sure that we have a group of people that congressman will pay attention to. We met with some like and not-so-like groups that don’t quite think the way we do all the time, just to try to discover whether or not we could find some common ground that our policy covers. Because my policy book guides me in all those conversations.”
