AI Summary: This regulation, Executive Order 14414, establishes a policy to advance regenerative agriculture and strengthen American farm resilience by promoting precision agriculture technologies, increasing federal investment in regenerative agriculture practices, research, and education, and encouraging private-sector innovation through reduced red tape and strengthened public-private partnerships. It directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator to prioritize registration of alternative substances to older active ingredients and review data for pre-harvest desiccation uses to ensure alignment with safety and environmental standards, including accurate labeling. The Secretaries of Agriculture and Health and Human Services (HHS), along with the EPA Administrator, are tasked with expediting a research framework for cumulative chemical exposure in the food supply, utilizing New Approach Methodologies to understand and address risks. The Secretary of HHS will also issue a grand prize challenge for researchers to find solutions for evaluating cumulative chemical exposures and prioritize research for technologies that reduce reliance on conventional chemical crop protection tools. The Secretary of Agriculture is directed to maximize funding for the current Regenerative Pilot Program, evaluate its expansion, and use existing authorities to create public-private partnerships to support producers adopting regenerative practices.
