The successful proposal should support the implementation of the farm to fork strategy, the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 and the EU climate policy under the European Green Deal. Activities will contribute to the transition to fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food systems from primary production to consumption, notably the target to reduce by 50% the overall use and risk of chemical pesticides and reduce the use by 50% of the more hazardous pesticides. Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: i) improved understanding of main knowledge gaps as well as of drivers and barriers to go beyond the farm to fork targets for chemical pesticides; ii) increased networking and knowledge exchange across Europe promoting a reduction in pesticide use and risk beyond the farm to fork targets; iii) research needs for further reductions or phasing out chemical pesticides in agriculture are identified.
