Cocinando desde Bruselas: Stakeholder event on the evaluation of the sustainable use of pesticides (La Batidora, by ATREVIA)

Session 1: Welcome, introduction of the initiative and wider food sustainability context

Panel 1 : Introduction of the initiative Claire Bury Deputy Director General DG SANTE.

  • High number of responses to the consultations. Polarized views in some respects.
  • Considerable interest in the Commission: 19 units involve in the USP.
  • Society is demanding that the way food is produced is more sustainable.
  • DG SANTE is working together with DG TRADE to increment the standards worldwide.
  • European Economic and Social Committee will deliver an opinion on this issue.

 

Panel 2 :  Framing pesticide use within the wider context of sustainable food systems Prof. Carina Keskitalo, European Commission Group of Chief Scientific Advisers.

To achieve a sustainable food system for the EU, the central goal of all relevant policy development and assessment must be to ensure food sustainability in all its aspects:

  • Ensure a truly integrated approach to bring about a sustainable food system.
  • Approached focusing on single issues, marginal efficiency gains and incremental improvements to the current system will not be sufficient and thus will not make the food system sustainable.
  • A transformation of the food system re-quires clear high-level goals and incen-tives, with a balanced focus on all three sustainability pillars (economic, social and environmental), with joined-up, com-plementing policies.

“The use and over-use of pesticides is not just a cause of the unsustainability of our food sys-tem but is also a symptom of the unsustainable food system”. Need to bring together all EU policies related to the food-chain and the environment upon which it depends and include broad consideration of costs and benefits to society, with due regard to trade-offs between ecosystem services.
