Pesticide reduction amidst food and feed security concerns in Europe

Year: 2023

Type: review

Abstract: Recent studies have estimated the potential yield impacts of pesticide reductions in the European Union. While these estimates guide policy design, they are often based on worst-case assumptions and rarely account for positive ecological feedbacks that would contribute to sustainable crop yields in the long term.
