Former Iowa governor Tom Vilsack is a solid choice for America's next Secretary of Agriculture, according to Environmental Defense Fund.
"Governor Vilsack recognizes that farmers, ranchers and forest landowners have an important role to play in combating climate change," said Robert Bonnie, Vice President of Land, Water and Wildlife for Environmental Defense Fund. "He is a strong supporter of a cap and trade program for greenhouse gases, carbon offsets, and other measures to help stop global warming. We think he'll be a great addition to the Obama Administration's environmental team."
Environmental Defense Fund also praised Vilsack for his devotion to environmentally beneficial farm policy programs.
"Governor Vilsack has a long history of supporting voluntary conservation programs focused on working agricultural lands, and he has advocated for sensible farm policy reforms." said Sara Hopper, Agricultural Policy Director for Environmental Defense Fund. "He understands the importance of cooperating with private landowners to ensure that we address our most pressing environmental challenges."
