We are glad to announce that IFOAM Organics Europe releases a new position paper on the Management of Pesticide Residues in Organic Products.

More than 300 organizations signed a letter sent to Frans Timmermans, Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal in the EU Commission, to call on him to uphold the precautionary principle, and consumers and farmers’ right to information and maintain the provisions in the current regulatory framework on Genetically Modified Organisms.

We are happy to announce that we just published a new video on the organic approach to plant health care and the Sustainable Use of Pesticides Regulation (SUR)!
