White House Expands Regenerative Farming Push to Bolster Farm Resilience

White House issues an executive order to advance regenerative agriculture and strengthen farm resilience by expanding federal investment, accelerating precision farming, and boosting public-private partnerships; it builds on the MAHA agenda and a prior $1 billion federal investment to help farmers adopt regenerative practices, improve soil health, and access new markets. The order also directs faster EPA registration of safer alternatives, calls for a research framework on cumulative chemical exposures, and launches NIH challenges and ARPA-H priorities to reduce reliance on conventional pesticides, with costs borne by HHS and a focus on keeping the U.S. food supply healthy, abundant, and affordable.
