What’s in it
AI summary Iowa wants to help farmers deal with the effects of climate change on their crops and land. To do this, a new group of experts from different agencies and organizations will study how changing weather patterns affect farming. This group will write a report for the governor that suggests new technologies and methods to protect agricultural productivity.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that it is the objective of this state to reduce the impact of factors associated with climatic change on ecosystem processes that support agricultural productivity. The bill establishes an agriculture climate adaptation advisory task force housed within the department of agriculture and land stewardship and composed of voting members representing a number of state agencies and private organizations interested in agriculture and the environment. It also includes four ex offico, nonvoting members of the general assembly. The task force is charged to achieve the objective by preparing an agriculture climate adaptation report (report). The purpose of the report is to identify factors and trends attributable to climate change that are projected to impact agricultural productivity. The report must identify and evaluate available methods and technologies to ameliorate the effects of climate change on agriculture and include recommendations necessary to achieve the objectives. The report must be submitted to the governor and general assembly by December 13, 2022.
