But action speaks louder than words \u2014 and so does inaction.<\/p>\n<p>Global food supply chain chaos has increased due to Vladimir Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. Countries across the globe are scrambling to increase food production. However, America is not one of them, because President Joe Biden would seemingly rather virtue signal about climate change than act on the near-term implications of a global famine.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe, with soil similar to that of the American Midwest. It is one of the largest exporters of wheat and corn in the world. Those exports were a lifeline for millions of people, including many who live in \u201cglobal crisis zones\u201d and have no reliable agriculture of their own \u2014 until now.<\/p>\n<p>The World Food Program <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/un-warns-ukraines-food-supply-163047412.html?msclkid=f3ba3377a6ea11ecaf047f73a1e1a389\">warned<\/a> Ukraine\u2019s supply chain is \u201cfalling apart.\u201d Those problems will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agweb.com\/news\/crops\/crop-production\/straight-ukraine-farmers-share-planting-updates-concerns-and-more\">worsen<\/a> if Ukrainians cannot plant crops this spring.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, Putin <a href=\"https:\/\/subscriber.politicopro.com\/article\/2022\/04\/russia-threatens-to-limit-agri-food-supplies-only-to-friendly-countries-00022270\">threatened<\/a> to restrict food sales from Russia \u2014 also one of the world\u2019s largest exporters \u2014 to only \u201cfriendly\u201d countries. Understanding the impending crisis, the European Commission has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/eu-offers-farmers-aid-more-land-grow-due-ukraine-war-2022-03-23\/\">opened up<\/a> conserved agricultural land for cultivation and distributed $550 million to European farmers to increase production.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubio.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm\/press-releases?id=6DEE2D72-DFAF-4B1C-A734-FF21140F1EF6\">asked<\/a> the Biden administration to take similar steps by opening \u201capproximately four million acres of high quality farmland\u201d for production that are currently held under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).<\/p>\n<p>President Biden refused. As an explanation, his Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/f\/?id=0000017f-efb9-d0cd-a3ff-ffb9e0830000\">told<\/a> the National Grain and Feed Association that re-opening the farm land would have \u201ca significant and detrimental impact on producers\u2019 efforts to mitigate climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time President Biden placed his environmentalist image above common sense and human life. U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry\u2019s obsession with cutting a Green New Deal with Communist China caused him to overlook slave labor in Xinjiang. Moreover, President Biden refuses to expand domestic energy production because, in the words of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, additional domestic production would be \u201cupending our initiatives to save the planet from the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At every turn, the Biden administration embraces climate fanaticism as a means to enrich its favorite corporate donors and appeal to a small fringe of the Democratic Party\u2019s base, while empowering monsters like Xi Jinping, Ayatollah Khamenei, and Nicolas Maduro \u2014 who have little regard for human life, labor standards, or the environment. Administration insiders may think their \u201cout of sight, out of mind\u201d approach is politically savvy, but their self-delusion has real-world consequences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Opening up four million acres of CRP lands to cultivation will not destroy the climate, but it may save lives. Now is not the time to \u201cmonitor the crisis\u201d in Ukraine \u2014 now is the time to harness America\u2019s vast resources to fend off a global famine. Biden needs to rethink his priorities, and fast. There is no time to lose.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Marco Rubio is a U.S. senator from Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden says he is \u201cworking out\u201d how to mitigate global food shortages.
