Farmers’ Toolbox
EU farmers need access to a comprehensive set of crop protection solutions to maintain productivity while moving towards more resilient and sustainable farming. CropLife Europe wants to provide the most extensive toolbox possible.
This toolbox should empower farmers to choose their preferred production model, combining conventional pesticides, biopesticides, plant biotechnology, as well as digital and precision technologies.
Our 2030 commitments for sustainable agriculture
We’ve made six ambitious commitments, clustered into three focus areas, all contributing to and aligning with the ambitions of the EU Green Deal.
Protecting People
By 2030, we will train 1 million advisors and farmers on best management practices for farmer health protection – as well as for water and the environment.
To further reduce operator exposure, we will make Closed Transfer Systems (CTS) technologies available to 100% of European farmers and operators by 2030.
