What we do with living labs is make sure that farmers, scientists and the industry itself work together in order to make sure we deal with climate change. We produce better crops. We take carbon out of the air and into the soil. We will continue to work with farmers and ranchers right across this country in order to make sure we stabilize food prices right across this country.
