The House Agriculture Committee is seeking comments on proposals to address global climate change. The Committee is soliciting the opinions of more than 400 agricultural, environmental, scientific and educational groups and other members of the public, through a print- and web-based questionnaire.
The questionnaire allows individuals and organizations to provide the
Committee with their views on the different options being considered in
Congress to reduce greenhouse gas emissions–especially as they relate
to the agriculture and forestry sectors.
“American agriculture producers know what it means to have a green job. For years our farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners have been participating in conservation and carbon sequestration programs, working to reduce emissions and increase efficiency, and support a thriving renewable energy industry,” said Committee Chairman Collin C. Peterson. “There are many different ideas out there and this questionnaire is meant to ensure that we hear from as many viewpoints as possible on how to incorporate the good work America’s farmers, ranchers, and conservationists are already doing into climate change initiatives, and identify potential benefits for the future.”
The questionnaire can be accessed at teh link below.
