Secretary Vilsack comments on Innovation at NASVF Conference

OKLAHOMA CITY – America’s agricultural core is in the midst of a massive economic and environmental change, producing equally large opportunities for venture capital investment, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Wednesday

Climate change and ever-tighter market competition will drive new technologies in areas such as soil testing, petroleum alternatives, energy transmission, water management and supply chain refinement, Vilsack said at the annual conference of the National Association of Seed and Venture Funds. About 300 people attended the event in downtown Oklahoma City this week.
