Agriculture is directly responsible for 10 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and farmers and ranchers face growing climate impacts every day, from more severe storms to intense droughts, making it harder to grow food. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates emissions from the agriculture sector will modestly increase over the next 30 years. Yet the Trump administration is slashing programs that help reduce emissions, feed people, protect farmworkers and animals and sensitive lands. In addition, the Trump administration’s tariffs and trade wars have affected the cost of machinery and sales of major crops. What will these changes mean for our national food system? How are farmers weathering these impacts? And where are people building resilience regardless of federal policy? Episode Guests:Lisa Held, Senior Staff Reporter and Contributing Editor, Civil EatsMegan O'Rourke, Congressional Candidate NJ07; Former USDA Scientist John Bartman, Illinois farmerByron Kominek, Owner and Manager, Jack's Solar GardenHighlights:For show notes , transcript, and related links, visit climateone.org/podcasts******Support Climate One by going ad-free!
