A USDA official directed staff on January 30 to take down any webpages focused on climate change, which resulted in the removal of material on some loan and funding opportunities, information about investments through the Inflation Reduction Act, and policy documents, according to the lawsuit filed on February 24 by the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York, Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Environmental Working Group.
