America First means American Agriculture First. Last week at @FAO's Committee on Agriculture @FAOCOAG, USDA Minister-Counselor Doug Hoelscher and the U.S. delegation stood up for American farmers, ranchers, & producers—championing science-based trade standards that support American exports and backing innovation that boosts farmer profitability & U.S. competitiveness. American farmers continue to lead the way in providing food, fuel, and fiber for the world. #AmericaFirst# #FarmersFirst# #AgTrade# #BacktoBasics#

Ambassador Blanchard: So good to see @USDA Undersecretary Hoskins to discuss U.S. agricultural priorities at the UN’s food and agriculture agencies - from science-based standards at CODEX, to biotech and innovation, to protecting plant and animal health from pests and disease. Close coordination between @StateDept and @USDA keeps American farmers and food security interests at the center of our global engagement.” - Ambassador Blanchard #FarmersFirst#
