European crop protection industry seeks sustainable solutions to contemporary agricultural challenges

The ‘Hungry for Change’ conference and exhibition (Brussels, 10.11.2011) unveiled a new direction for European Crop Protection (ECPA). The fruit of extensive critical evaluation of the performance and contribution of the pesticide industry, the initiative aims to deliver measurable results in the four thematic areas of safeguarding water, the enhancement of biodiversity, the provision of safe and affordable food and the protection of health. This strategy reflects industry’s ambition to deliver sustainable solutions to contemporary agricultural challenges, such as environmental degradation, climate change, a growing population, and an economy in crisis.
