President Trump signed an executive order promoting regenerative agriculture after an Oval Office debate over pesticide policy.
President Trump signed an executive order on regenerative agriculture following a meeting in the Oval Office where Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and farmers advocated for the order while American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall raised concerns about its impact on pesticide use. The order directs agencies to promote holistic farming practices and study chemicals in the food supply. The signing occurred on the same day the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Bayer in a case involving failure-to-warn claims about its weedkiller Roundup.
