Position paper: PAN Europe's position on the EU Farm to Fork strategy

May 2020

The European Green Deal published by the European Commission in December 2019 calls for a significant reduction in the risk and use of chemical pesticides as a key to kick off the ecological transition. This briefing aims at giving recommendations on how this can happen.

The European Green Deal (EGD) aims at paving the way towards a long-term vision for a sustainable society. One of the most concrete immediate actions of the EGD is the development of a Farm-to-Fork (F2F) strategy aiming at setting the foundations for a sustainable food system. F2F will set concrete measures ‘including legislative, to significantly reduce the use and risk of chemical pesticides, as well as the use of fertilizers and antibiotics’.
