Vilsack, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, created seven regional hubs across the U.S.\&nbsp; The directors of the regional climate hubs are either from the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) or the U.S. Forest Service.\&nbsp; In addition to regional hubs, there are three individual subsidiary hubs (Sub Hubs) in Davis, CA; Houghton, MI; and Rio Piedras, PR that focus on specialty crops or particularly unique working lands.\&nbsp; The overall goal of the regional hubs is to maintain and strengthen agricultural production and natural resources under increasing climate variability and environmental change.\&nbsp; The mission of the hubs is to develop and deliver science-based, regional specific information and technologies to agriculture and natural resource managers that enable climate-informed decision-making and provide assistance to enable land managers to implement those decisions.</p>
