The Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Alliance has congratulated Brooke Rollins on her confirmation as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. With bipartisan support, the Senate voted 72-28 to confirm Secretary Rollins, who now takes the helm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
"The CEA Alliance congratulates Secretary Rollins on her Senate confirmation today and we look forward to working with her to ensure that controlled environment agriculture remains a key component of U.S. food production," said Tom Stenzel, Executive Director of the CEA Alliance. "Indoor farming plays a vital role in strengthening domestic food security, expanding year-round fresh produce availability, and reducing supply chain disruptions. We are eager to collaborate with Secretary Rollins and the USDA to support policies that encourage innovation and investment in CEA."
