Statement by EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan on National Agriculture Day
WASHINGTON – Today, March 19, 2024, in celebration of National Agriculture
Day, EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan issued the following statement:
“Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) commemorates National
Agriculture Day, recognizing the invaluable contributions of America’s
farmers and ranchers to our nation and the world. We owe a debt of gratitude
to our agricultural producers, not only for delivering abundant food, feed,
fuel and fiber, but also for their efforts to ensure clean water, clean air,
healthy soils, and nature-based climate solutions.
Over the past year, I am proud to have visited farms in Wisconsin and Kansas
to gain firsthand knowledge of the kinds of sustainable innovation and
technology being adopted on farms across the country. I have also attended the
largest farmer-led convention in the United States and have regularly hosted
agricultural stakeholders in my office in Washington, DC. 
Farmers and ranchers will always have a seat the table as we work together
optimize agricultural productivity while minimizing environmental impact.
That’s why I recently announced the creation of EPA’s first-ever Office
of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, to help forge practical, science-based
policies that protect the environment while ensuring a vibrant and productive
agricultural system.
I am also grateful for the recent policy recommendations (pdf) from
EPA’s Farm, Ranch, and Rural Communities Federal Advisory
Committee (FRRCC), a group that provides independent policy advice and
information to the agency on a range of environmental issues that are of
importance to agriculture and rural communities. The FRRCC’s most recent
recommendations are focused on how EPA can best support the agriculture
sector’s climate mitigation and adaptation goals, and today, I am proud to
offer a formal response (pdf), including several immediate actions the agency
is taking to advance priorities identified by the committee.”

Office of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, please visit EPA’s Agriculture and
Rural Affairs page.
