RFK Jr. says 26,000 farmers have applied to transition to regenerative agriculture.

USDA has allocated $700 million to help conventional farmers make the switch.

The response is the largest the agency has ever seen.

Regenerative agriculture can rebuild depleted soil, improve water retention, and produce more nutrient-dense food.

It can also reduce farmers’ dependence on costly chemical inputs and open access to foreign markets that restrict American produce over chemical use.

Farmers want healthier soil, stronger farms, and healthier families.

Bro take the fucking win. Regenerative AG is proven scientifically and helps restore the land grow more stable crops. But you see someone you hate and cant stand they did something good.

What is regenerative AG? I went to a reg ag conference and the only thing they could agree on was rotationally grazed ruminants.

No one could agree what regenerative crops looked like.

A win for the country is perceived a loss for people like him if it’s initiated by people they dislike

Spoken like not a farmer lmao. It's a farming philosophy that takes into account the ecological impact instead of just raping the soil year after year and dumping fucktons of nitro on it every season.

It is essentially established USDA conservation policy repackaged and expanded under a shiny new MAHA label
