A new video published today by Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO), with support from HEAL, PAN Europe, PAN Germany, Public Eye, Global 2000 and foodwatch, explains how harmful pesticides that are banned in the EU are still being produced and exported to other parts of the world.
HEAL has submitted a response to the public consultation on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides (SUD) Directive as well as published a position on the topic.
The SUD revision is an opportunity for Europe to change its current agricultural model of conventional agriculture that has devastating impacts on human and environmental health. HEAL supports the gradual transition towards a pesticide-free agricultural model, where the methods used in pest-management do not jeopardise the health of farmers, residents of pesticide-treated areas or consumers and promote, rather than destroy, biodiversity.
