Karsting to Highlight Biden Administration Ag Priorities

The next four years

January 20th will usher in a new administration under Present-elect Joe Biden. To help us understand what this may mean for ag, NGFA has tapped Phil Karsting, senior policy adviser for the Washington-based law firm of Olsson Frank Weeda Terman and Matz, to address CEC 2020. During the Biden campaign, Karsting, former administrator of USDA's Foreign Ag Service during the Obama administration, organized a group of “Rural 2020” thought leaders to provide input to the candidate and his policy team on agricultural and rural issues. At CEC 2020, he will provide an update on the transition already underway, as well as the Senate confirmation process to follow. {Read: NGFA prepares for Biden administration} Karsting will also discuss – to the extent he can – the Biden administration’s philosophical and strategic approach to agricultural and trade policy, as well as its focus on climate-change policy and rural development and how they may percolate into the new administration’s policymaking. Only at CEC 2020. LEARN MORE & REGISTER >>. Source: Email/SZK
