Executive Order 14414 of June 25, 2026
Advancing Regenerative Agriculture and
Strengthening American Farm Resilience
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Executive Order 14212 of
February 13, 2025 (Establishing the President's Make
America Healthy Again Commission) established the Make
America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, with an
initial mission to address the childhood chronic
disease crisis, and directed the involved executive
departments and agencies to work with farmers to ensure
that United States food is the healthiest, most
abundant, and most affordable in the world. American
farmers and ranchers are essential partners in
achieving the MAHA agenda, and the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Agriculture
(USDA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
have already made a historic investment of over $1
billion in accelerating farm modernization and long-
term food supply security.
American farmers and ranchers have always prioritized
care of their land and are increasingly interested in
adopting innovative conservation farming practices like
regenerative agriculture. These practices strengthen
soil health, lower input costs, improve chemical
efficiency to reduce overall use, improve farm
profitability, maintain yields, increase market value,
expand access to new markets, and strengthen rural
economies. My Administration is committed to further
actions that support farmers and ranchers as they seek
to adopt these practices.
Therefore, it is the policy of the United States to
promote continued advances in precision agriculture
technologies; significantly increase Federal investment
in regenerative agriculture practices, research, and
education; and spur private-sector innovation in farm
modernization by reducing red tape and strengthening
public-private partnerships. These actions empower
American farmers and ranchers with the additional
mechanisms to ensure a healthy, abundant, and
affordable food supply for the American people.
Sec. 2. Ensuring Access to Modern Products and
Practices and Accurate Labeling. (a) The Administrator
of the EPA (Administrator) shall prioritize
registration actions related to substances that can be
used as alternatives to older active ingredients;
provided, that the Administrator shall undertake all
registration actions, including human health and
ecological risk assessments, as expeditiously as
possible as required by statute.
(b) The Administrator shall, consistent with
existing statute and regulations, review all available
data for registered pre-harvest desiccation uses and
ensure alignment with all applicable safety and
environmental standards, including accurate labeling of
chemical products.
(c) The Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of
HHS, and the Administrator shall expedite development
of a research and evaluation framework for cumulative
exposure across chemical classes that are regulated by
statute in the food supply. This research shall focus
on using and developing New Approach Methodologies to
promote scientific understanding of human health and
environmental risks of chemical contaminants in the
food supply, and addressing these risks for greater
food security and safety. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to direct the Secretary of
Agriculture,
[[Page 39842]]
the Secretary of HHS, or the Administrator to take any
regulatory action beyond current statutory
requirements.
(d) The Secretary of HHS, in consultation with the
USDA Office of Pest Management Policy and EPA Office of
Pesticide Programs, shall issue a grand prize challenge
from the National Institutes of Health for researchers
to identify creative solutions for evaluating the
exposure, diagnosis, and treatments of cumulative
chemical exposures on individual health. The Secretary
of HHS shall, through the Advanced Research Projects
Agency for Health, also prioritize research to identify
new, innovative, and cost-effective technologies that
reduce reliance on conventional chemical crop
protection tools in order to reduce risks to human
health.
Sec. 3. Promoting Regenerative Agriculture Practices
and Enhancing Farmer Prosperity. (a) The Secretary of
Agriculture shall maximize the funding of the current
Regenerative Pilot Program and evaluate ways to expand
the reach of the program, including by sharing the
results of the program with a broad audience of
stakeholders. This expansion shall include using
existing authorities to create public-private
partnerships that can bring new capacity to producers
interested in adopting regenerative practices.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
(d) The costs for publication of this order shall
be borne by the Department of Health and Human
Services.
(Presidential Sig.)
