On June 15th, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture held a hearing on the role of climate research in supporting agricultural resiliency. In a letter we sent to the Committee, we affirmed the importance of climate action being science-based and data-driven while prioritizing the experiences of Indigenous and traditional knowledge systems. We urged the Committee to increase funding for agricultural research programs like the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program and USDA Climate Hubs.
