Climate Change Agriculture Livestock Cargill Survey

Among participants in Cargill’s recent global Feed4Thought survey, those who indicated climate change as important to them also rated livestock and agriculture lowest in negative impact compared with other industries generally regarded as significant contributors.

That means the meteoric sales arc created by panic buying in March has a long way to go before it comes down to normal levels.
