(NAFB.com) – On the heels of Thursday’s report released by the Make America Healthy Again Commission, industry organizations are calling for science-based agricultural policy. In a statement, the Modern Ag Alliance said the report raises the possibility that the federal government could take a position to restrict farmers’ access to crop protection tools, undermine existing science-based frameworks and ultimately jeopardize the affordability and security of the U.S. food supply. Farmers are already facing a host of challenges — uncertainty about their access to critical crop protection products shouldn’t be added to the list. Crop protection tools are not only safe, they are essential to food security, affordability and the survival of family farms all across this country. Losing access to these critical inputs would be a devastating setback to American agriculture.
