Agriculture and Climate Change: The Policy Context

This briefing note explores the impact of climate change on U.S. agriculture and the role of the agricultural sector in climate policy, arguing that producers must actively participate in policy dialogues to ensure future legislation serves their best interests.

• The briefing 'Agriculture and Climate Change: The Policy Context' is the first of two Farm Bill Policy Notes designed to examine the reasons and opportunities for the U.S. agriculture industry to engage in climate policy discussions. It specifically analyzes how climate change impacts U.S. agriculture, identifies greenhouse gas (GHG) emission sources within the sector, and explores the potential roles agriculture could play in proposed climate legislation.
