National (September 16, 2025) – A new report released today from the HEAL (Health, Environment, Agriculture, Labor) Food Alliance highlights precision agriculture as a costly distraction from proven climate solutions that entrenches corporate power while putting small and mid-sized farmers at risk. The report reveals that despite the industry hype, these tools don’t deliver meaningful climate or environmental benefits. The HEAL Food Alliance also urges elected leaders to redirect public funds from precision agriculture into farmer-centered practices that promote widespread, equitable access to resources.
The report comes amid growing support by the Trump administration and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for precision agriculture techniques, and as Congress continues to support precision agriculture legislation and programs.
