Dans un entretien au « Monde », le commissaire européen à l’agriculture, Christophe Hansen, plaide pour davantage de flexibilité et moins de contraintes pour les agriculteurs. Selon lui, l’agroalimentaire doit participer à la décarbonation de l’économie, mais c’est un secteur particulier.
Christophe Hansen, the European Commissioner for Agriculture, advocates against banning pesticides without viable alternatives. He made these remarks in an interview with Le Monde. The European Commission's 2020 "From Farm to Fork" strategy aimed to reduce pesticide use by 50% by 2030 but faced significant opposition from farmers and political circles. In response, the Commission has shifted towards a more flexible approach, emphasizing targeted support through the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and preparing for budget discussions concerning farmers.
