President Donald Trump is investing in regenerative agriculture to appease the Make America Healthy Again base ahead of the midterm elections, a move that follows a disastrous blow to the movement’s anti-pesticide goals from the Supreme Court.
Trump signed a sweeping executive order on Thursday to increase investment from the departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture in regenerative agriculture, a set of farming practices that reduces dependence on pesticides and chemical fertilizers to improve ecosystem health.
The order came just hours after the Supreme Court sided with the pharmaceutical company Bayer in a landmark case shielding the company from liability for failing to warn that the herbicide glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup, may cause cancer.
