Agrochemical lobbyists accused of defending doomed farming model

Original: 'Agrochemical lobbyists are defending a toxic model of agriculture that is heading for collapse' https:// euobserver.com

EU Observer reports that agrochemical industry lobbyists are defending an intensive, pesticide-heavy model of agriculture that critics say is environmentally and economically unsustainable and heading for collapse. The piece argues industry pressure is blocking reforms to EU farming policy despite growing evidence of harm to soil, biodiversity and public health.

Why now: Ongoing EU debates over pesticide restrictions and the future of the Common Agricultural Policy keep the agrochemical lobby's influence in the spotlight.
