Vilsack announces regional hubs to help agriculture, forestry mitigate climate change
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced Wednesday the creation of the first ever Regional Hubs for Risk Adaptation and Mitigation to Climate Change at seven locations around the country. "Climate Hubs" will address increasing risks such as fires, invasive pests, devastating floods, and crippling droughts on a regional basis, aiming to translate science and research into information to farmers, ranchers and forest landowners on ways to adapt and adjust their resource management.
