InnovPlantProtect (InPP) took part in the \u201cIII Colloquium on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides - What Future?\u201d, which was held on May 24 at the Santarem Polytechnic Institute's Santar\u00e9m Higher Agricultural School (ESAS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The colloquium, organized by the Portuguese Horticultural Association, the National Horticultural Operational and Technological Centre (COTHN) and ESAS, aimed to provide policymakers with a current picture of the agricultural sector and the legislation, innovation, difficulties, opportunities and needs of crop protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The promoters organized the Colloquium at an opportune moment, following the European Commission's decision last February not to proceed with the revision of the Directive on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides, but in which the goals and ambition of the European Green Deal are maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portugal is the country in the European Union with the second highest rate of reduction in pesticide use and 10% of authorized plant protection products are biopesticides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The round-table event brought together speakers from agricultural confederations, associations representing agricultural sub-sectors, universities, public and private laboratories, the Ministry of Agriculture, MPs and MEPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedro Fevereiro, executive director of InPP, was one of the speakers on the panel \u201cSession II - What is the future?\u201d, which took place between 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. and included the deputy director of the Directorate-General for Food and Veterinary (DGAV), Paula Cruz Garcia, the president of CropLife Portugal, Felisbela Campos, Cristina Carlos from the University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), Social Democratic Party MP Em\u00edlia Cerqueira, chair of the Assembly of the Republic's Agriculture and Fisheries Committee, and Jo\u00e3o Fraz\u00e3o, a member of the Portuguese Communist Party's political committee. The moderator was Jo\u00e3o Baptista, a journalist from the newspaper Mais Ribatejo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
