Advancing Regenerative Agriculture and Strengthening American Farm Resilience

               By the authority vested in me as President by the 
               Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
               America, it is hereby ordered:

               Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Executive Order 14212 of 
               February 13, 2025 (Establishing the President's Make 
               America Healthy Again Commission) established the Make 
               America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, with an 
               initial mission to address the childhood chronic 
               disease crisis, and directed the involved executive 
               departments and agencies to work with farmers to ensure 
               that United States food is the healthiest, most 
               abundant, and most affordable in the world. American 
               farmers and ranchers are essential partners in 
               achieving the MAHA agenda, and the Department of Health 
               and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Agriculture 
               (USDA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
               have already made a historic investment of over $1 
               billion in accelerating farm modernization and long-
               term food supply security.

               American farmers and ranchers have always prioritized 
               care of their land and are increasingly interested in 
               adopting innovative conservation farming practices like 
               regenerative agriculture. These practices strengthen 
               soil health, lower input costs, improve chemical 
               efficiency to reduce overall use, improve farm 
               profitability, maintain yields, increase market value, 
               expand access to new markets, and strengthen rural 
               economies. My Administration is committed to further 
               actions that support farmers and ranchers as they seek 
               to adopt these practices.

               Therefore, it is the policy of the United States to 
               promote continued advances in precision agriculture 
               technologies; significantly increase Federal investment 
               in regenerative agriculture practices, research, and 
               education; and spur private-sector innovation in farm 
               modernization by reducing red tape and strengthening 
               public-private partnerships. These actions empower 
               American farmers and ranchers with the additional 
               mechanisms to ensure a healthy, abundant, and 
               affordable food supply for the American people.

               Sec. 2. Ensuring Access to Modern Products and 
               Practices and Accurate Labeling. (a) The Administrator 
               of the EPA (Administrator) shall prioritize 
               registration actions related to substances that can be 
               used as alternatives to older active ingredients; 
               provided, that the Administrator shall undertake all 
               registration actions, including human health and 
               ecological risk assessments, as expeditiously as 
               possible as required by statute.

                   (b) The Administrator shall, consistent with 
               existing statute and regulations, review all available 
               data for registered pre-harvest desiccation uses and 
               ensure alignment with all applicable safety and 
               environmental standards, including accurate labeling of 
               chemical products.
                   (c) The Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of 
               HHS, and the Administrator shall expedite development 
               of a research and evaluation framework for cumulative 
               exposure across chemical classes that are regulated by 
               statute in the food supply. This research shall focus 
               on using and developing New Approach Methodologies to 
               promote scientific understanding of human health and 
               environmental risks of chemical contaminants in the 
               food supply, and addressing these risks for greater 
               food security and safety. Nothing in this paragraph 
               shall be construed to direct the Secretary of 
               Agriculture, the Secretary of HHS, or the 
               Administrator to take any regulatory action beyond 
               current statutory requirements.
                   (d) The Secretary of HHS, in consultation with the 
               USDA Office of Pest Management Policy and EPA Office of 
               Pesticide Programs, shall issue a grand prize challenge 
               from the National Institutes of Health for researchers 
               to identify creative solutions for evaluating the 
               exposure, diagnosis, and treatments of cumulative 
               chemical exposures on individual health. The Secretary 
               of HHS shall, through the Advanced Research Projects 
               Agency for Health, also prioritize research to identify 
               new, innovative, and cost-effective technologies that 
               reduce reliance on conventional chemical crop 
               protection tools in order to reduce risks to human 
               health.

               Sec. 3. Promoting Regenerative Agriculture Practices 
               and Enhancing Farmer Prosperity. (a) The Secretary of 
               Agriculture shall maximize the funding of the current 
               Regenerative Pilot Program and evaluate ways to expand 
               the reach of the program, including by sharing the 
               results of the program with a broad audience of 
               stakeholders. This expansion shall include using 
               existing authorities to create public-private 
               partnerships that can bring new capacity to producers 
               interested in adopting regenerative practices.

               Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
               shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or 
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                   (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
               applicable law and subject to the availability of 
               appropriations.
                   (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
               create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
               enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
               the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
               entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
               other person.
                   (d) The costs for publication of this order shall 
               be borne by the Department of Health and Human 
               Services.
