Under the farm to fork strategy, part of the European Green Deal, the EU has set itself a double target: a 50 % reduction in the overall use of and risk from chemical plant protection products, and a 50% reduction in the use of more hazardous ones by 2030. The proposal tabled by the EC on 22 June 2022 would replace the 2009 sustainable use directive and has the following objectives: reduce the use and risk of chemical pesticides, in particular the more hazardous ones; increase the application of integrated pest management (IPM); increase the use of less hazardous and non-chemical alternatives to chemical pesticides for pest control; improve the availability of monitoring data; improve the implementation of legal provisions across all Member States to improve policy effectiveness and efficiency; promote adoption of new technologies, such as precision farming that makes use of space data and services (including geospatial localisation techniques).
