Pesticide National Action Plan is up for consultation. https://consult.defra.gov.uk/pestic...nable-use-of-pesticides-national-action-plan/
You can be sure this will be used by the usual suspects to condemn these important tools.
Dear Consultee,
Consultation on the ‘Revised National Action Plan for the
Sustainable Use of Pesticides (Plant Protection Products)’
1. I am writing to invite views on the proposed revision of the National Action Plan for
the Sustainable Use of Pesticides (the revised NAP).
2. For the following consultation the UK Governments have produced a draft revised
National Action Plan for the Sustainable Use of Pesticides (revised NAP draft). The
Revised NAP Draft aims to increase uptake of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
and sustainable crop protection, in line with Defra’s 25 Year Environment Plan, the
Welsh Minister’s Natural Resources Policy, The Environment Strategy for Scotland,
and the goals of the Environment Strategy for Northern Ireland to protect and
enhance the environment for future generations. The NAP will be delivered in support
of Government targets across the UK on biodiversity and carbon net zero. Defra and
the Devolved Administrations want to further consider the views of pesticide users,
pesticide related industries (including food retail and manufacture), environmental
and public health groups, and the general public in an effort to move forward together
on issues surrounding pesticides.
3. Defra will act as the main point of contact for the purpose of managing the
consultation. Defra will however be working closely with the Devolved Administrations
throughout the process and to analyse the consultation responses.
