I wish everyone a happy and safe New Year! As we enter 2024, our team at @USDA is ready to continue working to uplift American agriculture, enrich rural communities, and deliver exceptional products and services to create a brighter and more prosperous future for all.
Growth Energy was pleased to participate in today’s Biotechnology Roundtable discussion on sustainability and energy security hosted by @NovozymesNA. CEO @EmilySkor joined an esteemed panel including Ester Baiget of Novozymes, @JeffMarootian of @ENERGY and @JaffeGregory of @USDA.
I had the privilege of visiting @Cornell's pyrolysis kiln, the largest research kiln of its kind at a U.S. university. This machine converts waste into usable, efficient biomaterials, contributing to our efforts to mitigate climate change.
During my visit to @CornellCALS, I spoke with students about the programs @USDA provides to support farmers and rural communities in achieving sustainable growth, adopting climate-friendly solutions, and building the next generation of agricultural leaders.
Thank you to the students and faculty at @CornellCALS for showing me around. Whenever I meet with students, I am always impressed by their creativity and unwavering determination to use their academic pursuits to create positive change.
Passover is one of my favorite holidays. Some of my best memories include going to my Grandma Anne's apartment in Brooklyn for Seder.

This is BIG NEWS - Danone steps forward as the first food & ag company with a methane-specific reduction target of 30% by 2030. @EnvDefenseFund is excited to be partnering with Danone to help them get there.
Engagements on GMOs were directed at farmers. That was good. But there are a broad range of other stakeholders... Early stakeholder engagements with consumers on gene edited crops can help ensure a win - win situation for all, says @JaffeGregory at @WorldFoodPrize side event.
Having a social robust engagement, science based regulatory system, voluntary stewardship, transparency and inclusive access to technologies are the key principals for gene editing. @JaffeGregory talking as a panelist @WorldFoodPrize@ScienceAlly@FarmingFutureBD
