USDA Deputy Secretary Jewel Bronaugh represented the United States at the G20 Ag Ministerial Meeting. The ministerial made several commitments including building a more sustainable food system, tackling climate change and facilitating fair and open trade. One reoccurring theme was the Ukrainian crisis. There was disagreement over the chair’s event summary regarding references to Russia in the war. “Russia and China were present and I’m under the assumption these were the countries who did not agree with the language condemning Russia,” said Bronaugh. “Hopefully, wheat continues to move through the Black Sea to countries that need it most because we don’t know the predictability of Russia.”
