EU farmers will be provided with additional options to substitute chemical plant protection products as part of the EU's transition to sustainable food systems.
Biological products can protect crops with less risk to human health or the environment. New rules have now been approved that will help to facilitate use of micro-organisms as active substances in plant protection products. Once these new rules apply, expected by November, the approval of micro-organisms and the authorisation of biological plant protection products containing them will be significantly faster. Find out more from a dedicated Q&A page on this important Farm to Fork topic.
