Modern Ag Alliance Urges Science-Based Agricultural Policy in Response to MAHA Commission Report Questioning Crop Protection Tools
- The Modern Ag Alliance and U.S. Agricultural leaders responded on May 24, 2025, to the MAHA Commission report released today questioning crop protection tools used across American farms.
- The report raises concerns that the federal government might restrict access to essential crop protection inputs despite decades of scientific testing and regulatory oversight affirming their safety.
- Agricultural organizations emphasize that crop protection tools, especially glyphosate, are critically important for managing pests, maintaining productivity, supporting conservation practices like no-till farming, and keeping food affordable.
- More than 1,500 studies and over 50 years of EPA and global health authority reviews confirm glyphosate’s safety when used as directed, with leaders warning that misinformation risks severe harm to food security and farm viability.
- If future policies restrict crop protection tools as suggested, it could cause significant declines in crop yields, surging costs, and increased food insecurity, so advocates urge the MAHA Commission to prioritize sound science over ideology when issuing recommendations in August.
