Silent Spring (3/3): What are the prospects for pesticide policy?

  • Résumé

  • If we look at biodiversity loss, time is really running out. Especially the young generation is complaining about this. Why are farmers not adapting quickly enough? And what can be done to mitigate the biodiversity and climate crises that are exacerbated by industrialized agriculture? The agricultural sector in Europe is highly subsidized. But is the money from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) being used wisely? Will the European Commission succeed in initiating a trend reversal or is one catastrophe – the war in Ukraine – being played off against the other?
