Research for Healthy Soils Act aims to study microplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on farmland.
The Research for Healthy Soils Act amends the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 to prioritize research on microplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on farmland. This includes analyzing the impact of these substances on soil health and agricultural crops, understanding their fate and transport, and developing remediation techniques. The Act also extends the authorization for high-priority research and extension initiatives until 2031.
