Biden's climate and ESG policies pose significant threats to U.S. food production, leading to increased operational costs for farmers and consumers, with estimates of a 34% rise in farm costs and a $110 monthly increase in grocery bills. The policies align with the Paris Climate Accords but have been criticized for their potential economic consequences. Republican state agriculture commissioners have raised concerns about the negative impact on farmers and national food security, particularly regarding membership in the UN Net-Zero Banking Alliance.
