President Trump releases Executive Order on regenerative agriculture

The White House unveiled an Executive Order on June 25 titled “Advancing Regenerative Agriculture and Strengthening Farm Resilience.”
The EO comes as the MAHA movement has continuously pushed for the development and increase in regenerative agricultural practices, and would require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a research and evaluation framework to improve understanding of cumulative chemical exposures in the food supply using new scientific approaches. HHS also will launch a National Institutes of Health Grand Prize Challenge to accelerate innovative methods for evaluating, diagnosing and addressing cumulative chemical exposures and will direct the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to prioritize research into technologies that reduce reliance on chemical crop protection tools while improving human health.
Alongside the EO, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced the agency’s Regenerative Feedstock Rule, which establishes the framework for feedstock production for the 45Z tax credit. More details can be found here.
