BALI, Indonesia, September 26, 2022 - Agriculture Deputy Secretary Dr. Jewel Bronaugh is set to participate in the 2022 G20 Agriculture Ministerial in Bali, Indonesia this week. There, she will engage with agriculture leaders from the G20 member governments and continue to make the case for joint action on the interrelated areas of food security, climate, agricultural innovation, sustainable productivity growth, and closer global integration through trade.
This year’s G20 theme is Recover Together, Recover Stronger. The theme – and the ministerial – provide a global platform for the United States to once again condemn Russia’s war on Ukraine and the resulting impacts on global agriculture and food security, as well as to underscore approaches and solutions to building more sustainable and equitable food systems that are resilient to the shocks of war, pandemic, and climate change.
Media Availability
Dr. Bronaugh will hold a media teleconference from Bali on September 29, at 10 a.m. ET. Credentialed reporters interested in participating should RSVP to press@xxxxxxxx by 1 p.m. ET on September 28, for dial-in instructions.
