On Thursday, June 25, SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) sided with the Trump administration and the maker of the weedkiller Roundup in a case brought by a patient who said the pesticide’s key ingredient, glyphosate, caused his cancer.

Later that day, President Trump, facing a backlash from MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) supporters for allying himself with the chemical industry issued an executive order aimed at reducing pesticides in the food supply and studying the health risks they pose. The order discusses regenerative agriculture, the holistic farming system designed to restore soil health, biodiversity, and water cycles while capturing carbon. It focuses on working with nature rather than against it.

Released at 7:30 pm shortly before a dinner Trump hosted for farmers, the order does not include any new federal funding, and does not call for new regulations or legislation.

According to the New York Times, the SCOTUS ruling infuriated MAHA leaders, who held a rally outside the Supreme Court to protest the Trump administration when the case was heard. “This executive order stops short of requiring meaningful action,” said Vani Hari, a close ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Department of Health and Human Services who led the protest, adding, “Americans deserve more than another study — they deserve a clear plan with accountability to reduce unnecessary chemical exposures in our food supply.”

Earlier this year, the USDA Regenerative Feedstock Rule, committed $1 billion to invest in farm modernization and “regenerative,” or pesticide-free, agriculture. It instructs the Environmental Protection Agency to “prioritize” the approval of alternatives to pesticides, and asks the Agriculture Department and the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a “research and evaluation framework” to study chemicals in the food supply.
