Looking to support farmers and boost the country’s food supply security, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on June 25 to encourage regenerative agriculture habits.
According to a story by The Epoch Times, regenerative agriculture is a holistic farming approach designed to restore damaged soils.
In his order, Trump said that such practices can “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.”
The President’s order was announced the same day Trump hosted a dinner for farmers in the White House Rose Garden, during which he disclosed that he had asked Congress to approve a supplemental funding bill with $11 billion in relief payments for farmers.
“It was my honor to sign an executive order directing federal agencies to accelerate agricultural innovations that give farmers and ranchers the necessary resources to ensure American crops are the healthiest, and the most abundant, and the most affordable,” Trump said at the dinner. “And we’re always working for the farmer. We want to make it better and easier for you.”

Trump’s order instructs the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Health and Human Services Department, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to research the effect of cumulative exposure of chemicals in the food supply.
It also directs USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins to increase the reach of the Regenerative Agriculture Pilot Program, share its results with stakeholders, and build public-private partnerships to support farmers seeking to take up regenerative practices.
The Regenerative Pilot Program is a $700 million enterprise that was initiated by the USDA last year. It has completed more than 67,000 whole-farm conservation plans covering more than 49 million acres and over 1,500 conservation contracts valued at more than $200 million, according to the USDA.
