                  This is a positive step by the EU to address the issue of pesticide use and its potential negative impact on the environment and human health. By reducing pesticide use in half by 2030, the EU is showing its commitment to sustainable agriculture and protecting biodiversity. This decision will likely encourage farmers to adopt more environmentally friendly and innovative farming practices.
