The European Commission Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) commissioned RAND Europe and expert advisors to conduct a foresight study to develop appropriate future scenarios on the use of pesticides to 2030 and beyond, aligning with the 2030 pesticide-use and risk-reduction targets announced in the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategies and associated organic farming targets. The study's purpose was to examine the sustainable use of pesticides in promoting sustainable food systems and protecting public health and the environment. These targets include reducing the use and risk of chemical pesticides and more hazardous pesticides by 50 per cent by 2030. Another goal is to increase the proportion of EU agricultural land dedicated to organic farming to at least 25 per cent. The study will help formulate an appropriate policy trajectory for the future, including how best to accomplish these ambitious pesticide-reduction targets. The study considers the European Union's (EU's) aims to protect food security, production and quality, and producers' incomes and viability in the EU and European Economic Area (EEA) while avoiding possible adverse consequences in non-EU countries, including developing countries. The foresight approach provides a mechanism for examining different pesticide-use variables and their potential policy implications under different future realities, providing valuable policy-development insights into managing future pesticide use.

The European Commission is undertaking a back-to-back evaluation of Directive 2009/128/EC on the sustainable use of pesticides (SUD) and impact assessment of its possible revision. This support study provides an assessment of the potential environmental, economic and social/human health impacts of achieving the Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy pesticide use and risk reduction targets by 2030, as well as an assessment into the impacts of possible revisions to the SUD. Overall, achieving the F2F targets related to pesticides would likely generate environmental and social/health benefits, and contribute to a sustainable and safe food production in the EU. However, the pesticide targets in the F2F Strategy would need to be accompanied by strong action on habitat loss to reverse current negative trends in biodiversity loss. Economic impacts would be expected along the food value chain, mainly negative in conventional agriculture and trade, which could be mitigated through policy intervention. The possible revisions of SUD would likely bring additional costs for professional pesticide users and the expected gain would be a reduced use (cost) of pesticides, which could potentially offset the direct costs.
This book presents an overview of the key debates that took place during the Economic and Social Council meetings at the 2007 High-level Segment, at which ECOSOC organized its first biennial Development Cooperation Forum. The discussions also revolved around the theme of the second Annual Ministerial Review, "Implementing the internationally agreed goals and commitments in regard to sustainable development."--P. 4 of cover.
On top of a decade of exacerbated disaster loss, exceptional global heat, retreating ice and rising sea levels, humanity and our food security face a range of new and unprecedented hazards, such as megafires, extreme weather events, desert locust swarms of magnitudes previously unseen, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Agriculture underpins the livelihoods of over 2.5 billion people – most of them in low-income developing countries – and remains a key driver of development. At no other point in history has agriculture been faced with such an array of familiar and unfamiliar risks, interacting in a hyperconnected world and a precipitously changing landscape. And agriculture continues to absorb a disproportionate share of the damage and loss wrought by disasters. Their growing frequency and intensity, along with the systemic nature of risk, are upending people’s lives, devastating livelihoods, and jeopardizing our entire food system. This report makes a powerful case for investing in resilience and disaster risk reduction – especially data gathering and analysis for evidence informed action – to ensure agriculture’s crucial role in achieving the future we want.
The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.
This illustrated volume identifies the challenges and opportunities facing food and agriculture in the context of the 2030 Agenda, presents solutions for a more sustainable world and shows how FAO has been working in recent years to support its Member Nations in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
The welfare of production animals at slaughter is a major veterinary concern with debate on questions such as the degree of stunning required, how sentient animals are of their surroundings, slaughterhouse conditions and how quickly animals lose consciousness after having their throats cut in religious slaughter practices. This research monograph provides a thoroughly scientific evidence-based account of the physiology and behaviour of animals for slaughter, analysis of the different killing methods, legislation and operating procedures, lairage and movement, depopulation and handling. Animal Welfare at Slaughter is mainly aimed at animal welfare officers and policy makers, veterinary and meat inspectors and slaughterhouse auditors. However, this is a reliable resource also for veterinary and animal science students and the informed public. The Animal Welfare Series covers current topics in animal welfare, to further research and inform the scientific, policy-making and farming communities. 5m Books
