Biosolutions seminar: Beyond pesticides?
The idea of moving beyond pesticides is gaining significant political, societal, and institutional momentum. The seminar challenges the assumption that “fewer pesticides” automatically equals “better agriculture and environment”. By bringing together researchers from multiple disciplines and inviting voices from authorities, industry, and farming, the aim is to critically test the scientific, economic, and societal foundations of the beyond pesticides narrative.
Is this transition technically feasible at scale? Is it a selective success story? Or is it a system-level gamble involving food security, farmer livelihood, and environmental risks?
The program will be published soon.
