Following the release of the long-anticipated “Making Our Children Healthy Again” report by the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, several agricultural organizations have voiced their concerns, the industry stakeholders, including CropLife America (CLA), the Modern Ag Alliance, and the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG), responded with a unified message.
CropLife America, representing the U.S. pesticide industry, reinforced its commitment to responsible pesticide use as a vital component in modern farming.
“Pesticides are thoroughly studied and highly regulated for safety,” said Alexandra Dunn, president and CEO of CLA. “While the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Report recognizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) robust and science-based decision-making, it unfairly casts doubt on the integrity of the federal review process.”
