Agriculture and Climate Change: The Policy Context

The document argues that U.S. agricultural producers can benefit from proposed climate policies provided they actively engage in the policy dialogue. It serves as the first of two Farm Bill Policy Notes aimed at identifying opportunities for the industry to participate in climate discussions during a period of high public awareness of climate change.

• U.S. agricultural producers have the potential to benefit from proposed climate policies, but this is contingent upon their active participation in the climate policy dialogue.
• The current high level of public perception and understanding regarding climate change provides a strategic opportunity for farmers to engage so that future legislation aligns with their interests.
