Symposium: "Pesticide reduction in agriculture - What action is needed?", Zürich (CH)

Pesticides caught new attention in the media and in political debates. Recent studies indicate that their impact on human health and ecosystems has been underestimated. As we import a big part of our agricultural raw materials we also share responsibility for the pesticides used abroad. The Symposium explores strategies to reduce pesticides in agriculture – both in Switzerland and at global level. It identifies the role for civil society, consumers, private sector and state in this process.
