New rules for EPA impact assessment on agriculture and food prices.
This act mandates a review of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) planned actions to assess their impact on agriculture and food prices. The goal is to ensure EPA decisions do not have negative economic consequences for farmers and consumers before implementation. Citizens can expect greater food price stability and protection for the agricultural sector.
Key points
The Department of Agriculture will assess whether new EPA regulations could significantly affect agricultural production, food prices, or the overall agricultural economy.
If a major impact is identified, an expert panel, including farmers, will be convened to evaluate costs to the agricultural sector and propose modifications.
Regulations with a significant impact on agriculture will not be finalized until the EPA implements the panel's recommendations, aiming to protect farmers and consumers from adverse changes.
