He is also on a collision course with people who are worried that switching to organic crops will make it much more difficult to achieve climate goals. Since organic crops tend to have a small yield per acres, they need a large land to cultivate the same amount of crops, so they increase carbon emissions and convert them to agriculture. Threat.
On January 14, the Breakthrough Institute of the Environmental Research Group announced a letter opposing Kennedy as a secretary of HHS. The letter was a warning that the Sri Lanka government would switch to organic agriculture in April 2021, which stumbles, rising food prices, and led to protests attacking the Presidential Palace. The chemical ban on Sri Lanka was encouraged by RFK Jr., an environmental activist VANDANA SHIVA, described as a “hero” and “roll model.”
If he was confirmed in the role of HHS, RFK Jr. would be limited to agricultural policies, saying, Emily Bus, a brake -through federal policy, food, and agricultural associate director. However, he will have been supervised by the Food and Pharmaceutical Bureau, which implements US food regulations. “The restriction of pesticides can definitely affect his regulations,” says Bass. “Limiting the use of genetically modified crops or monitoring them more strictly in food supply can have a cool effect on agricultural production.”
HHS secretary also supervises the National Institute of Health, which provides and coordinates US medical research. According to BASS, Kennedy could give institutions and FDAs to create research on pesticides and food additives, and are used to support a lawsuit to change US farms. As a result, the FDA may explicitly shift from regulatory authorities to more activist organizations.
His ability to do this can be restricted by Brook Rollins, the choice of USDA chief playing cards, which is considered to be a very conventional candidate in this role. The Chief of Staff of the Rollins is the Kairit Cutsbller, a former president and CEO of the National Oil Seed Processor Association. RFK Jr. has consistently attacked oil seeds and writes in X that “seeds are one of the most unhealthy ingredients contained in foods”, and the slogan “Create fried oil brows again” in the followers. And instructed to buy a hat.
In her confirmation hearing, Rollins show that she follows the president of the president on agriculture, and Trump does not want to confuse his natural components and agricultural industry. “I’m working for him. I’m a member of the cabinet,” she said at the time.
There are already signs that conservative members are warming organic agriculture. “Historically, we have not gained a lot of more conservative members of Congress,” said the organic research and agricultural foundation of the organic research agricultural foundation, which is a non -profit organization that promotes research on organic agricultural agriculture. The manager, Goden Melick, says.
Now, Melick says he is holding more meetings with “very conservative” lawmakers. “Many of them are interested in listening more about organic because the influence of RFK and the growth of the United States will be healthy again.”
