FOOD 2050

We attended the Healthy Foods Summit in London earlier this week with our trusted handycam. Following the keynote debate on food production, we spoke to two of the panel members, Helen Browning, Food and Farming Director at theSoil Association and Caroline Drummond, Chief Executive of LEAF, an association that specialises in integrated farm management techniques, and the moderator, Dominic Dyer of the Crop Protection Association,  to get a full spectrum of views on the ongoing revision of the European pesticides regulation.

In a similar vein to what we’re trying to do here on pesticideinformation.eu i.e. present all sides of the story, BBC Radio Humberside recently interviewed spokespeople from both the UK NGO, The Soil Association, and the National Farmers Union, on the impending legislative proposals governing pesticides in the EU. Two well articluated but of course different takes on the issues and well worth a listen.
