Europe review 2020: Farm to Fork strategy sets industry’s course

摘要

The biggest headline emanating from the EU in 2020 was about the quantitative reduction targets for chemical pesticides with the Farm to Fork strategy. The stage for that had already been set at the close of 2019, when a new European Commission began operating. After some delays, the Commission revealed its strategy in May, setting a target to reduce the “overall use and risk” of chemical pesticides by 50% and the use of more hazardous pesticides by the same amount by 2030.
