Isabel García Tejerina (Valladolid, 9 October 1968) is a Spanish politician who is a member of the PP.[1] She has a Master's from University of California, Davis in Agricultural Economy, a Bachelor's in Law from the University of Valladolid and a degree in agricultural engineering from the Technical University of Madrid.[2] She has been General Secretary of Agriculture and Feeding of Spain for two periods: from April 2000 to April 2004 and from February 2012 to April 2014. She was Spain's Minister of Agriculture, Fishers, Food and Environment from 28 April 2014 until 1 June 2018, when a vote of no-confidence against Mariano Rajoy ousted the government.[3][4] Her re-appointment caused some criticism by Spanish environmentalists.[5]
