France Revives Goal of Halving Pesticide Use,But Seven Years Later Than First Targeted

摘要

France has proposed relaunching a "failed" action plan aimed at halving the country's pesticide use, but with new measures added and a target date seven years later than the original 2018. The so-called Ecophyto 2 plan, which would reach its target by 2025, proposes penalizing pesticide companies that fail to boost efficient use of their products.
