Fast forward to 2026, and the bloc has shelved the mandatory reduction regulation for good. What’s more, in an effort to remove regulatory burdens for companies, the EU’s executive body is now considering approving most pesticides permanently.

I have a degree in agricultural science and work with farmers on a daily basis. I’m far from ignorant on this topic. However from your post history I see you are Canadian and that gives me a bit more understanding of your perspective. I know in Canada (at least when I was last updated on your regulations) you use GMO roundup ready crops where you spray glyphosphate in growing crops. It’s also legal to spray glyphosphate on crops to kill and dry them before harvest. That increases the risks enormously. You may not know this but both of these uses of glyphosphate are not legal in the EU. I would absolutely support Canada banning use of glyphosphate on living crops.
I’m not a Canadian I’m an american. And people with degrees in the field of the last people we can trust nowadays unfortunately. You learn from experts, but they weren’t actually experts were they? You think they were though.
