PIRatE Lab's insight:
"Trying to restore regulatory sanity" is a great goal. Bailing on existing science and ignoring research findings you deem inconvenient is the opposite of "sanity." These folks are deeply disappointing and seem hell bent on setting us down a road with fewer protections and safeguards.

Plants share their carbohydrates with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that colonize their roots and, in exchange, these fungi provide their hosts with nitrogen and phosphorous. By exploiting this relationship, scientists may be able to increase the biomass production of bioenergy crops and the yield of food crops and to reduce the required fertilizer inputs. This could improve the environmental sustainability of agricultural production systems according to researchers.
