REGISTRATION IS OPEN - 7th Annual Symposium on Sustainable Use Directive on Pesticides
PAN Europe advocates for pesticide dependency reductions, encouraging policy changes towards
ensuring that farmers apply integrated pest management based on solid agronomic practices
to prevent pest build-up and on the use of non-chemical alternatives, where needed. Farmers
should apply pesticides only where absolutely needed and carefully select pesticides with the lowest
harm.
Since 2012, PAN Europe has been annually organising joint symposiums in Brussels together
with scientists united in International Organisation on Biological Control (IOBC) and companies
producing alternatives to pesticides united in International Biocontrol Manufacturer Association
(IBMA) in order to illustrate that IPM is a viable alternative to chemically-based agriculture.
