Overview

Climate change has become increasingly relevant to agricultural policy—and with Farm Bill season around the corner, the topic is only getting hotter. But many questions remain: What policies abate the most emissions? What policies would help or hurt U.S. agriculture competitiveness globally? Are there opportunities for economic growth? What pitfalls should policymakers avoid?

Join the R Street Institute Wednesday, June 14, as we host a panel of experts who will answer these questions and more. Panelists will explain how their own research has identified opportunities for the United States to strengthen its position as a leader in both global food production and climate policy progress.
