CropLife America’s Statement on White House Executive Order on Critical Agricultural Crop Protection Tools

“CropLife America appreciates President Trump’s recognition of the critical role crop protection tools play in maintaining America’s agricultural strength. These tools, including EPA-approved pesticides such as herbicides, enable farmers to produce the food, fiber, and fuel our nation depends on.

“Crop protection products help farmers control weeds, pests, and plant diseases that threaten crops — safeguarding yields and supporting a reliable, healthy, and affordable food supply for American families. The Environmental Protection Agency plays an important role through its rigorous gold-standard regulatory process to thoroughly evaluate and register pesticides that can be used safely and effectively.”
