Farmland PFAS

The US is considering a law to bail out farmers whose land was contaminated by PFAS in sewage sludge.

I sympathize with those farmers, and bailing them out is fair, since they were not themselves to blame for the problem. But what happens to those farmers is a secondary issue. If it turns out that those PFAS make food unhealthful, the main problem will be how and where to grow safe food.

Meanwhile, the most urgent measure to take, in this domain, is to prevent ruining any more farmland this way.
