In the United States, the safety of agricultural biotechnology is primarily regulated by three federal agencies: the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The USDA oversees the environmental safety of genetically engineered plants, the EPA evaluates the safety of biopesticides and herbicides, and the FDA assesses the safety of food products derived from biotechnology. Together, these agencies ensure that agricultural biotechnology products are safe for human health and the environment.
