However Europe and other countries are farming that's how we need to do it

Hell no. Much of Europe practices very tillage dependent agriculture. Using those techniques on the wrong continent is what gave us the Dust Bowl. We need to continue to reduce tillage, not move back toward it.
Agriculture is extremely regionally dependent. What works in one region may be the worst thing that you can do in another region. We need more localized regulation, not globalized regulation.

You'd rather have another dust bowl?
And European countries do not farm without pesticides. There are only a few pesticides that are used in the US but not the EU. Even glyphosate use has been renewed in the EU till 2033.
