Alternatives to pesticides Week
With more than 80 000 t. of active substances a year, France is Europe first pesticides consumer.
The massive use of pesticides by intensive agriculture and non agriculture users has consequences on environment and health.
A first edition of Alternatives to pesticides Week has been launched in 2006 in order to mobilize public opinion, decision makers and professional users.
Following the program's success, the MDRGF and its partners have decided to repeat this experience.
The aim of this program is to make people understand the necessity to choose alternative methods to the pesticides' use.
200 public events took place from the 20th of March to the 31st of March 2007.
Next step: give this process a european scale...
