A Better Approach at the EPA: Use Regulation to Drive Innovation

David M. Hart

2018

Read source ↗ All evidence

Summary

This 2018 opinion piece published in Morning Consult argues for using regulatory frameworks as a mechanism to drive innovation within the Environmental Protection Agency's remit. The article presents a conceptual approach to regulation that emphasises incentivising technological and systemic innovation rather than prescriptive enforcement alone. Without access to the full text, the specific agricultural or food-system applications—if any—cannot be confirmed.

UK applicability

The regulatory philosophy discussed may inform UK environmental governance structures, though direct applicability depends on the article's specific sectoral focus and the divergent institutional contexts of the EPA and UK regulators (Defra, Environment Agency). Post-Brexit, UK regulation-for-innovation frameworks may benefit from such comparative analysis.
