Modernizing the Regulatory Framework for Agricultural Biotechnology Products

What it means

This order streamlines regulations for agricultural biotechnology products, directing agencies to create a unified web platform for developers and review regulations that may hinder innovation. It aims to establish a science-based, efficient regulatory system that balances safety with promoting agricultural advancement.

Expected impact

• Accelerated approval process for genetically engineered agricultural products
• Reduced regulatory barriers for agricultural biotechnology companies, particularly benefiting small developers and academic institutions
• Potential boost to U.S. agricultural exports through coordinated international outreach strategies
• Improved public education about agricultural biotechnology benefits and safety
• Enhanced collaboration between USDA, EPA, and FDA through a unified online platform
