A new legal framework has been proposed to reduce the use and risk of pesticides in the EU. These new rules demonstrate the EU’s commitment to protect health, halt biodiversity loss, and build sustainable food systems that ensure lasting food security.
Key elements on the new pesticide proposals cover legally binding targets, stricter new rules to enforce environmentally friendly pest control, a ban on the use of all pesticides in sensitive areas, and exceptional EU support. Find out more about this latest outcome from the Farm to Fork Strategy.
