USDA has announced a new $700 million pilot program to support regenerative agriculture.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says the program will help farmers adopt soil-friendly practices using programs they already know and trust.
“Today is about the next step in Making America Healthy Again, and that is talking about regenerative agriculture...protecting and improving the health of our soil is critical not only for the future of our viability of farmland but to the future success of America’s farmers.”
