OECD Agriculture and Food Policy Reviews Policies for the Future of Farming and Food in the European Union
Policies for the Future of Farming and Food in the European Union applies the OECD Productivity, Sustainability and Resilience (PSR) analytical framework along with the latest data from the OECD Agri-Environmental Indicators to benchmark the sustainable productivity performance of the EU’s agricultural sector and to identify the main challenges ahead.
Study Supporting the Evaluation of Directive 2009/128/EC on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides and Impact Assessment of Its Possible Revision
The European Commission is undertaking a back-to-back evaluation of Directive 2009/128/EC on the sustainable use of pesticides (SUD) and impact assessment of its possible revision. This study, by Ramboll Management Consulting and Arcadia International, presents an analytically robust evaluation, assessing the Directive against the key evaluation criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and EU added value. It covers the period from 2011 to 2020 across the 27 EU Member States plus the UK. Evidence from qualitative and quantitative data collection shows that the SUD has likely contributed to reducing the risk of using pesticides to human health and the environment, however it is not possible to establish the extent to which the Directive has had a direct contribution on reducing the risk of pesticide use. Member States were found to have made efforts to implement the provisions of the Directive, however specific provisions lacked implementation such as the quality and level of ambition of NAPs and little control and enforcement of IPM. However, the objectives and concept of the SUD were found to have provided added value by creating a common, harmonised framework for the sustainable use of pesticides and raising awareness.
Study Supporting the Evaluation of Directive 2009/128/EC on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides and Impact Assessment of Its Possible Revision
The European Commission is undertaking a back-to-back evaluation of Directive 2009/128/EC on the sustainable use of pesticides (SUD) and impact assessment of its possible revision. This support study provides an assessment of the potential environmental, economic and social/human health impacts of achieving the Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy pesticide use and risk reduction targets by 2030, as well as an assessment into the impacts of possible revisions to the SUD. Overall, achieving the F2F targets related to pesticides would likely generate environmental and social/health benefits, and contribute to a sustainable and safe food production in the EU. However, the pesticide targets in the F2F Strategy would need to be accompanied by strong action on habitat loss to reverse current negative trends in biodiversity loss. Economic impacts would be expected along the food value chain, mainly negative in conventional agriculture and trade, which could be mitigated through policy intervention. The possible revisions of SUD would likely bring additional costs for professional pesticide users and the expected gain would be a reduced use (cost) of pesticides, which could potentially offset the direct costs.
