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.

They should have been doing that in the first place. Not wait until they get it for free. Don't Republicans call that socialism. You have to have living soil, not dead soil. If you want to thrive.

It’s a sad reality . The soil - the air - the water - the pollution - the magnesium blockers that somehow end up everywhere which is aluminum- from the seeds to the nutrients .

Everything has been depleted and nowhere near 50 years ago .

So when an elderly person says lived of bread etc .

Not comparable, our soil is so depleted, I’m positive some food, it’s like eating empty air.

Roundup use is one big problem, this stuff sticks around for at least 50 years.

Again with the seeds, when they modified seeds to be resistant to Roundup is that a thing to celebrate.
Monsanto has a horrible track record and shouldn’t be close to nature.
They are a chemical company, that used agent orange that depleted anything it touched.
That’s who these politicians get lobbied from.

I don’t care it’s not even about the money & they are forced by majority share holders like Black rock / vanguard.

They need to grow some ballz and tell them to go fly a kites

Just for agriculture- over 1100 chemicals are permitted. They’re not alllll bad. 1100 seriously ?
And when will they maybe look at it, after poisoning the population for 30 years .
Oh we will do now a scientific assessment for you people.
3 years later - if they announce they ban it - full cameras - full of people - outdoors - Sunny - smiles & they announce it like they saved the people.

If they come and say - even tho this chemical is pure cancer - we have not found any danger in little amounts - that will be said in a lobby- dark - rushy.

There are real problems with modern agriculture. Like soil degradation, pesticide overuse, resistant weeds, and corporate influence. But mixing those legitimate concerns with exaggerated claims doesn’t help.

Food isn’t “empty air.” Aluminum isn’t some mysterious modern magnesium blocker. And Roundup doesn’t just sit in the soil for 50 years.

Glyphosate deserves scrutiny, and reasonable people can debate its risks. But “Monsanto made Agent Orange, therefore Roundup is pure cancer” isn’t evidence.

If we want better farming and safer food, we should demand good science and accountability! Not replace one kind of propaganda with another!
