The Future of Crop Protection: Is Europe Falling Behind?

Olivier de Matos, Director General CropLife Europe (CLE), which is a group in the EU who lobby on behalf of chemical companies, joins this week’s Tillage Edge to discuss the latest EU legislation and proposals around the safe use of chemistry in agriculture.

“It’s taken far too long to register products in Europe,” he explains. “For example, in the past 6 years, over 80 active substances have been lost, with only one new registration, which was approved last year.”
