Where money goes, hearts & minds…and influence goes… There is a growing controversy around the USDA's Climate-Smart Commodities program, which provides funding to companies like Tyson Foods to promote "climate-smart" agriculture practices. Critics argue that the program is not transparent and that the USDA is not providing sufficient oversight to ensure that companies are actually reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. This article shows how environmental advocacy groups are pushing for greater transparency and accountability from the USDA and the meatpacking industry. Interesting side note… **** No one will be surprised… According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Tyson employs a small army of over 50 lobbyists working to influence policy and legislation in Washington, D.C: https://lnkd.in/g-SypWGf
