Accused of ecological decline on pesticides, the government repeats the reduction objective. While the government announced to "pause" the Ecophyto plan, is "out of the question that there will be a decline that threatens health or biodiversity", assured the Minister of Ecological Transition Christophe Béchu.
This announcement had aroused concern among environmentalist associations and elected officials. “The break is not going backwards,” assured at the same time the Minister Of Agriculture, Marc Fesneau, on LCI.
