Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Sept. 17 that McDonald’s and other partners will invest more than $200 million over the next seven years into sustainable, regenerative agriculture practices.
Regenerative practices—including, among other things, rotational grazing in which livestock are moved periodically to allow grass and soil health to recover and beneficial microorganisms and fungi to flourish—have long been championed by farmers and are a component of Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again agenda.
