Summary

Helps farmers use new methods to grow healthier food, make more money, and keep America's food supply strong and safe.

What problem does this solve?

Farmers want to use newer, safer farming methods but often need support to do so. This order provides more funding and research for these methods to help farmers succeed and protect the nation's food supply.

What does this order do?

Expands funding for regenerative farming
Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to give maximum funding to the Regenerative Pilot Program and find ways to expand it, including through public-private partnerships.
Speeds up approval for new farm chemicals
Tells the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to prioritize the review and approval of new substances that can replace older farm chemicals.
Researches the combined effect of chemicals in food
Requires the USDA, HHS, and EPA to work together to study the health risks from the combined exposure to different chemicals found in the food supply.
Creates a prize for chemical exposure research
Tells the National Institutes of Health to offer a prize for new ideas on how to measure, diagnose, and treat health problems caused by exposure to many chemicals.
Reviews safety of pre-harvest chemicals
Requires the EPA to review chemicals used to dry out crops before harvest to make sure they meet all safety and environmental standards and are labeled correctly.

Who does this affect?

  • American farmers and ranchers
  • The American public

What is the real world impact?

Supports farmers and modernizes agriculture
Provides funding and resources to help farmers adopt innovative practices that improve soil health, increase profits, and ensure a stable food supply for the country.
Promotes faster approval of new farm chemicals
Directs the EPA to speed up the registration of new chemicals. This could help get safer products to market faster, but some may worry it could rush safety reviews.

When does this start?

This order takes effect on June 25, 2026.
