Ducros: Commission President Ursula Von der Layen wants to scrap plan to halve the use of pesticides in the Union. The European Parliament recently rejected the draft directive.
The strategy is so radical that it has thrown farmers onto the roads, she says. Ducros: The Commission forgot one detail in its great environmental gesture: We eat three times a day. The only alternative is not called fasting, but imports. With research programs, robotization, biocontrol. Let's hope for a miracle.
