4/22/2021 Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack held a press call Thursday to explain several government announcements regarding conservation and climate. On his first day in office, President Biden signed the order to bring the U.S. back into the Paris Climate Agreement. The move became official on February 19. As part of rejoining, Biden announced an aggressive emissions reduction target for the country by 2030. “This is going to allow us to reclaim global leadership in this important area. Agriculture and forestry, I think, plays a pivotal role,” Vilsack said Thursday. “Part of our efforts will focus on enhancing climate smart agricultural practices, the development of biofuels, carbon capture and sequestration, better forest management and reforestation.”
